Paul Gascoigne tipped to be crowned King of the Island on Italian reality TV show

Paul Gascoigne’s old Lazio team-mate has tipped the former Rangers and England star to be 100,000 Euros richer by the end of June.

The 53-year-old is currently competing in an Italian reality TV show called Island Of The Famous, which is a sort of cross between I’m a Celebrity and Love Island.

Still famous in the country due to his three years with the Roman club in the 1990s, also his stellar displays for England at Italia ’90, Gascoigne was recruited especially by the producers and flown out to an island off the coast of Honduras in Central America.

Filming is underway and is due to last until June when the winner will walk off with the cash prize.

“I think Gazza could win it,” said Roberto Rambaudi, the ex-Italian internationalist who played alongside Gascoigne at Lazio.

“Why? Because he is a man with a heart of gold, he is someone who knows how to make everyone love him.

“He knows what it means to be a team, to live in a group. And he is very generous”.

“He has an innate charisma that leads him to always be at the centre of attention, even though I am not sure this is where he really wants to be.

“But he is a leader, albeit not a typical one.

“It was great to be his team-mate. He was someone you had to love because he was always cheerful, nice and unselfish.

“I am very curious to see how he will behave on the show. I haven’t heard from him since the time of Lazio, but I think he has remained the same incredible guy”.

If Rambaudi has one fear, it is that his personality might just be too much for some of the fellow contestants.

“Gazza is a guy who knows how to make a group, he was a lot of fun. I believe it will be the same on the island.

“I just hope he doesn’t go overboard with jokes, because sometimes he got carried away with us!

“With him, perhaps, there is this risk, because he is impulsive.

“But he hasn’t been bad with anyone, on the contrary, in the dressing room he was the first to worry if someone had a problem.

“So I am convinced that participation in the Island Of The Famous will do him good and, as I say, I think he can even win the prize.”
