Seems like every 'sleb on the planet equates reality TV with a stellar comeback these days, and Paul Gascoigne is the latest to throw his name into the hat. The eternally troubled former football idol wants to do I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! apparently.

As per The Sun, Gascoigne wants to ensure he stays sober by heading into the jungle and sorting himself out with a TV career. Yes, Paul, because 5 weeks in rehab and a bit of telly have worked so well for so many people eh? He claims he was offered a spot on the show before but was too busy being a bold boy to do it at time time.

"When sober, I’m up for anything, but when drinking I don’t want to do anything. I won’t say what they offered as other celebrities would complain they weren't given as much. But it was a lot. I've no problem eating insects and now I'd be there like a shot", he told the tabloid.

As if that wasn't enough, he's apparently got plans to do a bit of telly with his old pal Vinnie Jones. He claims that hard man Vinnie (who recently starred in the US version of Sherlock as a, errr, hard man) wants him to head off to an island with him, with just a gun and a fishing rod to keep them company. Don't worry though, Gazza's reassured everyone that it "wont be like f***ing Brokeback Mountain".

Shame. Because we all really thought it would be now, didn't we? NEXT!
