Paul Gascoigne, one of England's most celebrated footballers, has been rushed to intensive care after struggling to cope with a rigorous alcohol detox programme.

The 45-year-old has struggled throughout his adult life with alcohol problems and was reportedly in the United States to start treatment for his addiction.

However it would appear that the former England midfielder was unable to cope with the rehabilitation at a clinic in Tucson, Arizona, and was taken to hospital after becoming seriously ill.

Several celebrity friends are footing the bill for Gazza's treatment, including former England teammate Gary Lineker, comedian James Corden and DJ Chris Evans, which is believed to cost $50,000 for the two-month programme.

Lineker took to Twitter to update fans on the situation, saying: "Gazza is struggling, Let's hope he can hang on in there. Others have generously offered help. #GetwellGazza."

Current England captain Steven Gerrard and his England teammates have gone to the FA with the intention of contributing as well, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

"Many of them looked up to him as the star player of the day, and I can only back that up," The Daily Mail reported Hodgson as saying.

Fortunately Gascoigne's condition is now stable, but it is unknown when, and if, the former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur player will be able to resume his rehab.
