Paul Gascoigne has been taken to hospital after appearing to dislocate his shoulder during the Italian reality show Island Of The Famous.
The former England star, 53, could be seen gripping his arm in pain after completing an assault course with his fellow islanders on the endurance based TV series – Italy’s version of the globally syndicated I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
It came after Gazza also made the hilarious admission that among his vast collection of tattoos he even has a flower inked on his manhood, in the hope that it will turn it ‘into a tree.’

The sportsman had to dash across the beach before climbing over a netted wall, wading through another cargo net and climbing onto the platform to shoot a ball through a basketball hoop.
The celebrities were competing to win a treat of spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, but it was soon clear that Paul had injured himself.

Gazza also admitted he has the names of his manager Katie Davies, her husband and their two children inked on his wrist, joking: ‘At least I didn’t get the dog.’
Among Gazza’s most iconic inkings are multiple tributes to his mum and dad, barbed wire which symbolises Jesus’ crown of thorns, and a sullen portrait of his stepdaughter Bianca.
It comes amid reports that Gazza is being paid around 7,000 euros (£5,981) for each week he is taking part in the show.
According to the newspaper Il Messaggero, the sportsman has signed a contract for the weekly fee alongside actress Vera Gemma, actor Brando Giorgi, former Italian Strictly star Giles Rocca and actor Roberto Ciufoli.

In the interview, Gascoigne was asked about his Italian, to which he said in his strong Geordie accent: ‘It’s OK. It’s only the first day, I’m hoping to improve it.’
He conceded: ‘I’m not speaking perfect Italian’, before beginning his diatribe, in which he bizarrely repeatedly used the word for snakes.

‘Hands fish my, team hungry me. Confidence, first day, better speak, soon.’

Paul had been studying Italian as he waited to fly out to the island.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘Paul has a basic grasp of Italian and he can make himself understood… But what we really want to avoid is having subtitles too often as that would ruin it.
‘The idea is to get him up to a good conversational level so he can talk with the other competitors. We are expecting some exciting TV from Paul.’
Paul had also spoken to the publication in his native tongue about his strengths and what he will bring to camp.
