Gazza Hurt In Ice Show Fall

Paul Gascoigne was left in agony after injuring his neck while training to be a TV show ice ace, it has emerged.  

Gazza was taken to hospital after repeatedly falling on the rink as he practised for BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing Boxing Day special.

The 37-year-old former football star was being trained by a professional ice dancer in Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, when the accident happened.  

Docs at London's Princess Grace Hospital have now ordered him to undergo a series of scans, according to The Sun.  

But worried Beeb producers are considering ex-England goalkeeper David Seaman as a reserve in case Gazza does not recover in time.  

A source told the paper: "Paul has had a series of nasty falls while training for the special.  

"He has been determined to do well and has so far been pushing himself quite hard, He ended up in agony and had difficulty standing up straight or lifting objects.  

"He was complaining of a lot of pain in his neck. He spent the weekend in hospital and doctors have run a series of tests to establish whether there has been serious damage."
