Gazza reveals drinking torment
Paul Gascoigne has described "the pain" of knowing he might start drinking again, even though he recognises it could be the death of him in an ITV documentary.
Gazza says 'addictive personality' led to sweet addiction
Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne told the makers of a new ITV documentary that he has "an addictive personality" and revealed he is even addicted to sweets.
He told them: "With me now if I did have a drink and relapse, it's like becoming tipsy and merry is okay for a couple of days but like the next mouthful I'm so down, I'm so depressed, I cry.
"I do all that because I know inside I'm hurting myself again. I know where I'm heading, a wooden box. Or I'm back in treatment or hospital. Or getting sectioned."
