Paul Gascoigne set for new Channel 4 series Scared of the Dark

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Gascoigne is reportedly set to star in ‘Scared of the Dark’.
The retired England footballer is lined up to take on the upcoming new Channel 4 reality show, which tests celebrities by denying them light for a week while also being tasked with “thought-provoking” challenges.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “This will be a real endurance challenge for Gazza – but that’s the whole point of the show.
“Along with the other celebrities taking part he’ll have to survive in the darkness for seven days in a specially constructed space.
“During that time he’ll also have to complete a series of thought-provoking tasks in order to keep his place in the contest.”
The 55-year-old star is said to have “passed all his assessments” in order to take part in the show.
The source added: “Despite the scale of the challenge, Gazza passed all his assessments with flying colours and filming on the proramme will start shortly.”
He hasn’t appeared on an entertainment show in the UK since appearing on ‘The Weakest Link’ – then hosted by Anne Robinson – in 2009, while he appeared in last year’s season of Italy’s version of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
His kids have also been seen on the small screen, with his daughter Bianca appearing on Italy’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, while her brother Regan won ‘Dancing On Ice’ earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Gazza and his former England teammate David Seaman are looking to make a TV show about fishing.
David recently revealed: “I have been speaking to his agent about a TV pilot.
“Gazza enjoys his fishing even though his line spends more time out of the water than in it – because if he doesn’t get a fish in a minute, he changes his fly.
“He has these issues but underneath he has a heart of gold and hopefully he will be on the straight and narrow when we work together… It will be hilarious because he is a handful when he is fishing, trust me.”
