The TV chef, 48, has headed aboard after his shows were pulled from the UK schedules following accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards women, which he has denied.
While touring Toronto and Montreal to promote his new series An Italian In Canada, Gino was seen sharing the spaghetti with one audience member.
He was later slapped on the shoulder by another female fan who appeared to have taken offence to his choice of words.
In another risqué moment he invited men on stage to whisk eggs, before making them turn their back to the audience to seemingly suggest their arms were moving vigorously in a lewd act.
Sharing the clip to his Instagram he wrote: ‘Two fantastic live cooking shows in Montreal and Toronto… Grazie Canada, you guys rock’.
It comes after Daily Mail revealed that Gino was poised to make a comeback with the support of female producers he has worked with in the past who think he has been wronged.
With their help, he is determined to clear his name, win back the trust of broadcasters and get back on screen.
But earlier this year the chef reportedly made a slew of smutty jokes in his return to the spotlight.
During an appearance on Maltese radio he boasted about Italian men giving ‘maximum satisfaction’ before later telling the female host she was ‘too pretty for radio’.
Gino, who shares sons Luciano, 23, Rocco, 20, with wife, Jessica Morrison, then said he named his eldest after Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, before hinting he named the second after porn actor Rocco Siffredi.
He later went on to remark about women dieting, claiming ‘only dogs like bones’ and insisted men want ‘things to grab’.
According to The Sun Gino said: ‘I’m going to tell you a secret, Italian food is like Italian men, minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.’
Before asking the female host: ‘Now do you understand that Nicole, or do I need to explain that?’ to which she replied ‘I think it’s very clear’.
When asked if he recognised a male in the studio, Gino asked: ‘Do I know your mum? Did I take your mama out for dinner or something?’
‘I meet a lot of people and usually the ones I remember are blonde, they’re tall, we do an activity together’.
Daily Mail have contacted Gino’s representatives for comment.
The chef has faced a string of accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards women – which he has denied.
ITV subsequently pulled all of Gino’s shows from its upcoming schedules after the accusations were revealed in an investigation.
‘He’s in a lot of trouble and ITV don’t want to be in a BBC situation [with Gregg Wallace] or have a repeat of Schofield so they are covering all their bases’, an insider told Daily Mail at the time.
