The former England football ace, 53, was pulled out of filming on Thursday and flown to hospital for emergency check-ups and treatment.

Sources close to Gazza said that during a show trial, he aggravated an injury sustained in November when he was al­l­e­gedly assaulted in a row in Bournemouth, Dorset.

He was seen grimacing as he held his left shoulder.

Last night a pal said: “He’s dislocated his shoulder. It’s such a shame as he was doing so well.

"He’s resting while the medical team check him out.

“The producers are very concerned.

"He may be pulled out. There are insurance issues as well for them to consider.”

Paul, filming on an island off Honduras, was hurt in a trial which involved grabbing a ball suspended from a bar, crawling along a ditch, scrambling under water below a cargo net, before climbing a platform to score through a hoop.
