PAUL Gascoigne has revealed his hopes to sign up to I’m a Celebrity line-up after starring in the Italian version of the ITV show – despite his dramatic weight loss.
Gazza, 54, shed a stone and a half while camping in Honduras, but he said it did him the world of good.
The ex-England and Spurs midfielder said after returning home: “I’m really feeling good. It was very tough, but it was good for me and I’m glad I did it.
“Now I want to do the Australian one!”
He added to the Mirror: “So, it was in Honduras and the first few days were really tough, but then you get used to it.
“It was hard – no cigarettes, no coffee, no food. It was a challenge for all of us. We had to hunt for our own food – though it felt like there was no food to hunt!
“You were given a little fishing line and I caught a barracuda, so that was OK …
“I’ve been in a jungle for 12 weeks and eating eff all! I lost a stone and a half. I’m trying to put it back on. I’ve been eating like a pig!”
Gascoigne was forced to quit the Italian reality show after dislocating his shoulder in a spaghetti and meatballs challenge just days after arriving.
But he bravely returned to the delight of Italian viewers and told The Sun last month:”I did five weeks on the Italian island so I can do three weeks with Ant and Dec in the jungle. Bring it on!”
