Emotions were at an all-time high during the most recent episode of Good Morning Britain as Paul Gascoigne broke down in tears.<\/p>\n
While speaking to ITV<\/a> stars Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, the 58-year-old detailed watching someone close to him die.<\/p>\n When the former footballer was a child, he was looking after the younger brother of a friend, who was tragically struck down by a car and killed.<\/p>\n Speaking about the harrowing incident, Paul commented, “Yeah, his younger brother wouldn’t go to the boys’ club, and I said I’d look after him. He was only eight and I was 10.”<\/p>\n Paul told Richard and Susanna that the younger boy went in front of him and was suddenly hit by a car.<\/p>\n Overcome with emotion, he added, “I ran down and he died in my lap. I thought he was still alive because his lips moved a bit. I went, ‘He’s ok, he’s breathing,’ but he wasn’t. That was his last movement.”<\/p>\n Paul recalled picking the young boy up out of the coffin and was startled by how cold he was. He continued: “When the coffin left, I went and stayed with them again, in that same room for a week.<\/p>\n “I was only 10, I was staying in the same room with a coffin, it was horrific.”<\/p>\n Richard asked whether he believes that the experience traumatised him so much that it resulted in multiple issues later on in adult life.<\/p>\n Paul agreed, saying he was taken to a psychiatrist by his mum at the age of 10. He said, “I ended up with noises and twitches, and I said I refused to go and see him anymore. It wasn’t until I really started getting involved with football that it started getting my mind off of everything.”<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the interview, the 58-year-old issued an apology to viewers after swearing on-air while recalling how he believed his parents were leaking stories to the press while discussing a particular passage in his book.<\/p>\n He commented: “When I first tried it (drugs) it was only because of the phone hacking, I fell out with my mum and dad for three months.<\/p>\n “That destroyed us, I couldn’t hack it and then I took the drugs and then my dad sectioned me.”<\/p>\n Susanna said, “The reason that you are so upset is because you became paranoid, didn’t you? During the phone hacking scandal, because you didn’t know who was spilling the beans.”<\/p>\n He replied: “The only people I spoke to were my mum and dad, and it kept coming out in the newspapers. So I fell out with them. I ended up having six mobile phones. I’m thinking, mum and dad what are you f****ng doing? Sorry for that swearing.”<\/p>\n Richard added: “We apologise too for the language there, but obviously it’s very emotional, we understand.”<\/p>\n Good Morning Britain is available to watch on ITVX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Monday’s instalment of Good Morning Britain, presenters Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid welcomed Paul Gascoigne onto the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":196844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,3327,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-196843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-good-morning-britain","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Paul](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760350690_850_3_Untitled-22-2025-10-13T083800481jpeg.jpg\")
