Gascoigne's Failed Attempts
Former football star Paul Gascoigne, known as 'Gazza', has disclosed that he has been turned down five times to appear on the popular television show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! The reason? The show's psychiatrist repeatedly rejected him.
A Football Icon
Gazza, aged 57, earned 57 caps for England and played for renowned clubs such as Newcastle, Spurs, Lazio, and Rangers. His career was marked by both on and off-field antics, often fueled by alcohol.
Colorful Explanations
Speaking at an event in Worthing, West Sussex, Gazza revealed the reasons behind his failed attempts to join the show. He mentioned using colorful language and shared his struggles with claustrophobia and fear of snakes, which made him reconsider his decision.
Missed Opportunities
Despite expressing interest in participating in reality shows, Gazza reflected on his regretful experience on Scared Of The Dark in 2023, where he appeared alongside Chris Eubank. He humorously declared that he would never repeat that experience.
Unconventional Behavior
During the event, attended by around 500 people, Gazza occasionally drank from a bottle, clarifying that it only contained water. His candid and unfiltered statements added to the engaging atmosphere of the evening.
Seeking Confirmation
ITV has been approached for comments on Gazza's disclosures and his repeated rejections from I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
