Gazza tipped for Celebrity Big Brother

‘Celebrity Big Brother’ 2017 is shaping up to be an explosive series.

It has been reported Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne may follow his step-daughter Bianca Gascoigne into the famous abode next month.

The troubled ex-footballer is said to be considering a short stint in the Borehamwood house for the forthcoming special ‘Gold Stars vs All Stars’ series, which is believed to have the likes of loud-mouthed journalist Katie Hopkins and ‘Strictly’ star James Jordan on board.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper Bianca is “really hoping her doing the show will give him something to look forward to.

“Bianca wants nothing more than for Paul to be happy and well again. She wants to show her family in a good light. She wants her family name to be celebrated.”

However, the 49-year-old football legend is more often associated with his demons nowadays and CBB bosses are hoping the former ‘Love Island’ winner will open up to her fellow house mates about Gazza’s well-documented fight with drugs and alcohol addiction.

The insider said: “Producers think Bianca will be a hit with viewers… She’s also feisty and willing to speak her mind and stick up for herself. Bianca can be sweet, but she’s not a walkover.”

Other housemates rumoured to enter ‘CBB’ in January are Lee Ryan, reality TV couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Katie Price and Simon Cowell’s former fling, model Jasmine Lennard.
