Celebrity Big Brother’s Bianca Gascoigne admits alcoholic footballer dad Paul ‘needs to go to rehab for a long time’
BIANCA Gascoigne has revealed how she wishes she could “wave a magic wand” and make her dad Paul better, in a conversation about his alcoholism.
The British glamour girl is daughter to Sheryl and stepdaughter of ex-England footballer Gazza, and made the confession on tonight’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
It all started when she was having a conversation with Nicola McLean about Bianca’s mum Sheryl, and what she thought about her going into the house, to which she replied: “She was just worried about me, as she has had a hard time with the press, that she can only see it in a bad light.”
Nicola then said: “It’s hard, because no one is going to be more loved in your family than your dad, as he is a legend.”
Bianca the said: ” I think she [her mum] was a bit of a scapegoat, which is ridiculous because she is still helping him [Paul] now, everyday, he is a big part of our lives.”
She continued: “I love him, if I could wave a magic wand for him to be better obviously I would do it.”
Nicola then said: “It’s the worst disease, alcoholism, the worst.”
She added: “Can you see him getting better?”
Bianca signed and said: “He needs to be put into rehab.
“I’ve got fingers, toes, eyelashes crossed that he will get better.”
The former footballer could be seen being comforted by Bianca outside a hotel in Kensington, London.
