England icon Paul Gascoigne was rushed to hospital after he was found to have collapsed at home. The 58-year-old former footballer was admitted to intensive care in hospital but is now said to be in a stable condition and recovering.

The ex-Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur star was found collapsed in his bedroom at his Poole house. And his pal who found him, Steve Foster, said: “He would like to thank everyone for the support he’s received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best.”

And among those wanting to see him back to his best is his former Love Island star daughter, Bianca Gascoigne. While the 38-year-old reality TV star and model isn’t said to be directly by his side, she is reportedly in close contact to keep informed about her star dad’s condition.

Bianca is one of three children Paul shares with his ex-wife Sheryl. Gazza adopted Bianca and her older brother Mason, who Sheryl welcomed with first husband Colin. Gazza adopted the pair after getting into a relationship with their mother. Gazza and Sheryl also share a biological son, Regan.

In 2014, Bianca also thanked her fans for their support of her dad. At the time, he had been found drunk outside his home and taken to hospital.

Fans were quick to send supportive messages to her on Twitter/X and she replied: “Thank you for your kind words.” She is yet to respond to his current situation.

In 2017, before Bianca entered the Celebrity Big Brother house she opened up about her relationship with her father and the fears she had. At the time, she was said to have told pals she’s worried about getting a phone call during her time on the reality show.

“I worry about Dad. We’ve become close over this last year,” she told a friend, according to the Daily Star Sunday at the time. “My absolute worst fear is getting that call in the house that the worst has happened.”

Four years later and Bianca shared a rare snap alongside her dad as they enjoyed a family day out. “One for the books,” she captioned the post which showed the duo laughing and smiling. “Moments like these I will cherish forever all the family back together.”

They were seen sticking their tongues out as they posed for the snap, before another showed her, Gazza and her brother Regan strolling through the town centre as they took advantage of the sunshine.

“Yoda, he is,” Bianca jokingly wrote in another as she placed a Yoda filter over the former sports star’s face as he sang and danced while walking alongside his daughter.

No further details have been confirmed about Paul’s latest health scare. It comes just months after he was said to be looking better than ever. “I feel better now than I have in years,” he told the Mirror in May.

He added: “I hope I am at a point that I can really look back over everything I’ve gone through in my life with a different – and more positive – perspective. After so many years in the spotlight, I feel like it’s time people got to know the real me.”

It comes as he prepared to release his new book titled Eight, named after the number 8 shirt he famously wore for England for Euro 96, as well as for Spurs.
