Troubled England football legend Paul Gascoigne is coping with a possible eviction from his home by staying in a five-star London hotel.

According to the Mirror, boozer Gazza spent most of last week drinking in his room at a 429 pounds-a-night Hilton after being told he could be thrown out of his flat in Bournemouth.

On Friday, the frail football legend took a 40 pound taxi journey, to buy a Lottery ticket and 60 cigarettes, the report said.

He seemed unsteady on his feet as he walked out of the London Hilton on Park Lane wearing aviator sunglasses, diamond stud earrings, a grey jacket and jeans, the report added.

He was later spotted in a mobile phone shop on Oxford Street where, bizarrely, he insisted on playing the harmonica, the report further said.

A friend said that Gascoigne was in a complete mess, adding that many of his mates have tried to help, but it is impossible.
