"Paul Gascoigne has revealed that he is interested in appearing in I&amp;#039;m a Celebrity... Ge Me Out of Here! The former footballer - who recently completed a rehab stint in the US for addiction to alcohol - said he was offered a spot on the ITV show a few years ago.  &amp;quot;They asked a while back, but I wasn&amp;#039;t right and said no,&amp;quot; Gascoigne told The Sun. &amp;quot;When sober, I&amp;#039;m up for anything, but when drinking, I don&amp;#039;t want to do anything. I won&amp;#039;t say what they offered, as other celebrities would complain they weren&amp;#039;t given as much. But it was a lot. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve no problem eating insects, and now I&amp;#039;d be there like a shot.&amp;quot; Gascoigne also revealed that he has discussed a survival TV show with friend and fellow footballer Vinnie Jones.   &amp;quot;Vinnie asked if I want to go on to an island with just him, a gun and fishing rod,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;It would be good, but I&amp;#039;m not sure about letting him have a gun. He was bad enough when he grabbed my b*llocks, let alone a shotgun. &amp;quot;It would be just me and him. I said I don&amp;#039;t mind that, Vinnie, but it won&amp;#039;t be like f**king Brokeback Mountain. He told me to f**k off.&amp;quot; Looking to rebuild his life following his latest stint in rehab, Gasgoigne added that he would also be up for presenting his own chat show.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m ready for anything. It&amp;#039;s coming up to a month sober. It&amp;#039;s a start and I&amp;#039;ll look for new challenges. I don&amp;#039;t need to do this because I need the fame or money. It&amp;#039;s that I&amp;#039;ll enjoy the challenge,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s about staying sensible, keeping motivated, enjoying support from my family and attending AA. If I look after myself, I&amp;#039;ll be okay. I might have another drink in me, but I don&amp;#039;t know if I&amp;#039;ve got another recovery.&amp;quot; Gascoigne&amp;#039;s former wife Sheryl Gascoigne was a contestant on the tenth series of I&amp;#039;m a Celebrity, while his daughter Bianca auditioned for The X Factor last year. He recently stated that alcohol nearly killed him this year, while he has admitted to an addiction to Calpol. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
