Paul Gascoigne was back in hospital last night after asking staff to give him a steak knife and then trying to drown himself in the bathtub of his hotel room.
The troubled former England football star was being assessed by doctors after going "hysterical" at a top London hotel, it has been reported.
Police were called to the four-star Millennium Hotel in Knightsbridge yesterday afternoon after staff became concerned about his condition.
Staff feared that Gazza, who had just shaved his head, had planned to slash his wrists in his room, according to The Sun. The drama comes two months after Gascoigne was freed from a psychiatric hospital after being detained for two weeks under the Mental Health Act.
He was held in February after Northumbria Police were called to the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead.
It followed an incident at the Malmaison Hotel in Newcastle hours earlier, where the hotel said the star made other guests and staff feel "threatened".
Gascoigne had spent 12 nights at the £200-a-night Malmaison recuperating after a hip operation.
Staff said the 40-year-old, who won 57 caps for England, had behaved in a bizarre manner during his stay.
One said: "He's always out of it, he's off his head on drink.
"He's obviously not well."
Regarded as one of England's most talented footballers, Gascoigne had spells at Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio and Rangers.
However, he made the headlines more for his alcoholism and off-field behaviour.
