Inside Paul Gascoigne's relationship with daughter Bianca as ex Rangers star rushed to hospital
Rangers legend Paul Gascoigne was rushed to hospital after he was discovered to have collapsed at home. The 58-year-old ex football star was admitted to intensive care but is now said to be in a stable condition and recovering.
Gascoigne was found collapsed in his bedroom at his Poole home and was discovered by his friend Steve Foster, who 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."
Among those supporting the star 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, writes The Mirror.
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 decided to adopt the pair after getting into a relationship with their mother. Gazza and Sheryl also share a biological son, Regan.
Back in 2014, Gazza had been found drunk outside his home and taken to hospital and Bianca thanked her fans for their support of her dad.
Fans were quick to send supportive messages to her on social media and she replied: "Thank you for your kind words." She is yet to respond to his current situation.
In 2017, Bianca was set to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house and before she did she opened up on her relationship with her father and the fears she had. At the time, she was said to have told pals she was 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."
And four years after that, Bianca posted a sweet photo 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."
The pair were seen sticking their tongues out for the camera 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.'

This Morning viewers praise Olivia Attwood hosting debut as they claim Love Island star makes Dermot O'Leary look like a 'first time presenter'
This Morning viewers have praised Olivia Attwood as she made her debut on the ITV show - and confessed that she made co-host Dermot O'Leary 'look like a first time presenter'. The former Love Island star, 37, was first announced as a host for the summer break back in June. On Friday she made her first appearance on the sofa with her co-star Dermot - and many fans have rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to praise the documentary maker for her presenting skills. One even went as far to say that she made Dermot look like an amateur, despite the former X Factor presenter usually hosting This Morning with Alison Hammond, 50, every Friday. 'I have to say that dermot looks like the first time presenter & inexperienced & Olivia attwood looks like the one that has been doing it for a long time,she has really surprised me,she is a really good presenter far better than josie gibson,well done olivia attwoood #ThisMorning.' 'OLIVIA ATTWOOD belongs on that sofa! Sterling job on #ThisMorning today! Really enjoyed her input.' 'Love #OliviaAttwood and so proud to see her smashing it on #thismorning.' Olivia opened her debut to the ITV show with a BRUTAL comment to her co-star Dermot -which left the studio in stitches. The Getting Filthy Rich star couldn't help but make a cheeky comment about Dermot just moments after they went on air. Dermot said to viewers: 'Well hello. Welcome to your Friday's This Morning. 'Look who has joined us today. It's only the lovely Olivia Attwood everyone! But the Getting Filthy Rich star couldn't help but make a cheeky comment about Dermot just moments into the show (pictured) Olivia replied: 'Thanks guys! This is not a drill. This is happening! '...I want you to know, I did go for a smaller heel.' Dermot then added: 'You could have worn a flat! That's all I'm saying... Early feedback.' 'I couldn't actually,' Olivia replied. Dermot, who is 5 ft9, told her: 'You could have worn a flat!' The former X Factor presenter then went on his tip toes to get to the same height as his co-host. Olivia's debut has got a lot of people talking on X, formerly known as Twitter, with many sharing how much they think she's a great fit for the show. 'Love to see Olivia is presenting on #thismorning great addition!' During the opening segment Dermot went on his tip toes to get to the same height as his co-host (pictured) The 34-year-old joined the panel of Loose Women back in 2023 'Loving Olivia #ThisMorning.' 'tbh I like Olivia, there are way more insufferable people than her and at least her documentaries aren't just a reality show all about me me me #thismorning.' Since shooting to fame on Love Island, Olivia has released some of her own documentaries with ITV, including Getting Filthy Rich, The Price of Perfection and presented Bad Boyfriends. She also became a regular panelist on Loose Women back in August 2023. But earlier this month the star hit back at backlash over her upcoming gig on This Morning after cruel trolls insisted it 'wouldn't work'. Traditionalists went as far as threatening they'll 'definitely stop watching' if Olivia joins the morning show. But ITV's golden girl Olivia has assured she is determined to succeed in the new gig and prove the haters wrong. She exclusively told The Sun: 'Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. 'I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa. 'It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me.' There are a range of other stars who will be presenting This Morning this summer. The likes of Sian Welby, 38, Emma Willis, 49, Josie Gibson, 40, Rochelle Humes, 36, Joel Dommett, 40, Craig Doyle, 54, and Andi Peters, 54, will also be stepping in for Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50.

Love Island in new fix row as viewers fume at show bosses, raging they ‘fully set up' villa girls after Grafties row
It comes after Harry and Helena's plot-twisting fall-out villa-ins Love Island in new fix row as viewers fume at show bosses, raging they 'fully set up' villa girls after Grafties row Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans are raging that producers have unfairly incriminated two Islanders to look like the 'mean girls' - Shakira and Toni. Viewers have taken to social media to vent their anger over the supposed 'rigged edit' of Shakira and Toni - while Meg and Helena appear to have got off lightly. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 ITV2 viewers have insisted Shakira and Toni have been "set up" by producers Credit: Eroteme 6 Fans are fuming that Meg and Helena have been portrayed in a 'better light' Credit: Eroteme Sofa detectives are saying The Grafties was set up against Shakira and Toni when they showed the clip of them bad-mouthing Meg and Helena. Fans are calling out ITV2 bosses for editing the footage 'in favour' of Meg and Helena - whose most catty moments were not shown. The official Instagram account for the dating show wrote alongside the toe-curling clip: "Meg reacts to some past comments made from Shakira and Toni." Hyped up users commented on social media: 'Fully set Shakira and Toni up. There was so much they could have shown from Meg and Helena talking about them both." A second agreed: 'Do Helena and Meg have friends or family in production or something because it's 100% feeling like producers are trying to push for those two couples to be in the final. If either of them win this show it's so fixed because people have wanted them out for weeks now.' 'Funny how Meg and Helena's comments aren't shown… so one sided," noted a third. 'Whatever agenda producers have against Toni and Shakira, it's not going to work!" raged another. "You 100% set Shakira and Toni up then. Why not show what Meg and Helena have been saying?!" inquired a fan. "Why are the producers doing this? Honestly! Can we make sure to make Toni and Shakira top two. After all it's public vote based. Unless they lie about that too," accused another. One fan asked: "Why do they never play what Helena and Meg actually say?" Love Island rivals finally address bitter villa feud in explosive Grafties as fans slam show over 'rigged' edit "So glad people aren't falling for the producers cheap tricks to make Meg and Helena win," praised another. This year's edition of the ITV2 dating show has seen a long-running divide between the girls in the villa. For the most part it has mostly consisted of close pals Toni, Shakira and Yasmin against Meg, Helena, and Megan. Whilst the feud has been clear to see and has been hinted at many times in the villa, it was only during The Grafties that all six girls were forced to confront the issues head on. It came as Toni and Shakira collected the award for Best Double Act but fans were quick to slam this decision ahead of the series finale in just over a week's time. In the scenes, the group saw a video of Toni and Shakira expressing their disdain for Meg after a number of clashes with the star. They also took issue with Helena and for her close bond with Meg. As Meg pleaded that she was the same to the pair in front of their face, Toni insisted she was not as the divide was soon addressed. Yasmin quickly jumped in to insist there had been a "divide" from the start as many of the Islanders appeared to nod in agreement. Toni stated that the divide came from Meg, Helena and Dejon not being "warm and welcoming" and for going off on their own and leaving others out of their conversations - namely her, Shakira and Yasmin. It's not the first time fans have grumbled at show bosses by claiming the editing is "rigged" to portray Shakira and Toni negatively despite them being the ones who appear to have been isolated by Meg and Helena. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 6 Toni and Shakira collected the award for Best Double Act - and fans aren't happy Credit: Eroteme 6 The group saw a video of Toni and Shakira expressing their disdain for Meg Credit: Eroteme 6 Viewers have previously branded Helena the "real villain" of the show Credit: Eroteme
