Overview
- On Wednesday Paul Gascoigne appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and became visibly emotional while giving a health update, saying “Everything’s going well for us” and that it was “probably the happiest I’ve been in about five years.”
- He used the live interview to promote his autobiography Eight and said people have told him the book has “saved their life,” adding that if it helps even one person he has done his job.
- Gascoigne described his recovery as a day‑by‑day process, saying he does not think about tomorrow and that some days remain hard.
- The interview recalled his long history of alcohol problems, past hospital and rehab stays and a reported Red Bull dependence during attempts to quit, and outlets framed the update as hopeful but not a declaration of permanent recovery.
- The book’s public impact could prompt more people to seek help and keeps Gascoigne in a visible role in addiction discussion, and broadcasters and charities have used coverage to signpost support services for those in crisis.
