Former England international Paul Gascoigne is recovering at home after being released from hospital. The 58-year-old, who lives in Poole, Dorset, was admitted to intensive care on Friday after being found semi-conscious by a friend. However, his management company has confirmed he has now been discharged and is working his way back to health at home. A statement from the MNT Agency read: 'Paul voluntarily went into A&E on Friday after struggling with a throat condition (not by ambulance) he has had for a while. He is already back home and doing well.' Gascoigne, who won 57 caps for his country, was discovered by Steve Foster, who works as his driver and personal assistant, and taken to hospital. He was treated by intensive care staff and later moved to an acute medical unit, where his condition was said to be stable, and he has since been released. Gateshead-born Gascoigne found fame as one of his generation's most gifted football talents, making his name at Newcastle before spells with Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton. However, life away from the pitch has at times proved challenging and his struggles with alcohol addiction and depression have been well-documented.

Paul Gascoigne back home after hospital scare but remains 'very poorly'
Paul Gascoigne collapsed in his home on Friday night. Paul Gascoigne has been discharged from hospital but remains 'very poorly,' according to a close friend. The former Rangers footballer, 58, was taken to hospital on Friday after collapsing at his home in Poole, Dorset. He was found semi-conscious in his bedroom and rushed to A&E, where he was initially admitted to intensive care before being moved to an acute ward over the weekend. He was said to be in a stable condition throughout. Carly Saward of the MNT talent agency said: 'Paul voluntarily went into A&E on Friday after struggling with a throat condition he has had for a while. He is already back home and doing well.' His friend and personal assistant Steve Foster, who discovered him on Friday, has been visiting him daily. He told The Sun: 'Paul is stable now but is still very poorly. But it shows how popular and loved he still is by fans everywhere. I can't walk down the street with him without him being stopped — it's crazy.' Gascoigne, known affectionately as Gazza, has faced long-standing battles with alcoholism and addiction but had been in better shape in recent months. A source told The Mirror earlier on Monday: 'He has told friends that he is fine and was going to give an update later today. He has been doing well recently so this was an unexpected setback. He had a full three months without alcohol over the summer while he was doing various speaking engagements and looked really well.' During a celebrated career, Gascoigne won 57 England caps and played for Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton. His off-pitch struggles, however, have frequently overshadowed his footballing achievements. Speaking on the High Performance podcast in March 2024, Gascoigne reflected: *'I used to be a happy drunk, I ain't any more ... I'm a sad drunk. I don't go out and drink, I drink indoors. If I want to make it a bad day, [all I need to do is] go down the pub. If I want it to be a good day, I get my flying rod out and go fishing. 'It's not the drinking, it's the afterwards. Looking at my phone after and seeing 30 messages or missed calls, I know I'm in trouble. But I've been all right. Last year wasn't brilliant, was off and on for a couple of months.' He added: 'I try not to get down because the world's already down enough and when I'm really down, that's when I pick up a drink to cheer myself up. I don't think I let any managers down, or the players or the fans, you know. If there was anyone I let down, it was myself. But more the drinking side of it, when I finished playing.'

Gascoigne was admitted to hospital on Friday after collapsing at home in Poole, Dorset. The 58-year-old ex-footballer was discovered semi-conscious in his bedroom and was rushed to A&E. He was kept in hospital over the weekend and was understood to have been in a stable condition. Having initially been put in intensive care, he was recovering in an acute ward. Thankfully Gazza is now doing better, with his management telling ITV that he went to hospital "after struggling with a throat condition he has had for a while" and is "back home and doing well".

Food first for wellness
'Good food is not just about taste. It is nourishment, experiential, and above all, it is care,' said Dr Lekha Sreedharan, a paediatric dietitian at Apollo Children's Hospitals, as a summarising thought of the event held at Park Hyatt Chennai on Wednesday. Speaking at the launch of My Food My Health, a book that showcases the collective effort of the Apollo Hospital Group's dietitian fraternity, Dr Lekha emphasised the importance of a well-balanced plate — one filled with nutritious food, rainbow colours (seven colours, seven dishes), and prepared with love. She stressed that a meal should be guided by scientific rigour, practical insights, and heartfelt sincerity. The book is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), because 'nutrition starts with a life cycle,' she noted, and added, 'My Food My Health is a book that goes beyond recipes and nutritional guidance; it is a testament to our preventive healthcare. It is to improve our well-being through the transformational power of nutrition. To believe in the strength of collective dieticians pan India equals wonders.'
