Gazza reveals 'pain' of knowing he might drink again
Paul Gascoigne has described "the pain" of knowing he might start drinking again, even though he recognises it could be the death of him.
A one-off ITV documentary about the former England footballer reveals what happened in Gazza's private life for the three months after his return from a rehab clinic in Arizona where he overheard doctors say he might die.
The 46-year-old told filmmakers: "I just remember one bit after the third day of being in hospital when he said 'I don't think this guy is going to make it' and I sort of put my head up a little bit and I was like, tubes in my arms and an oxygen tank injecting round my heart and lungs and that.
"I just come forward and I went 'I don't want to die I need to water the plants' and that was it and then I woke up two weeks later."
Being Paul Gascoigne will air on ITV tomorrow at 9pm
