Bianca Gascoigne: Italians say I'm crazy like my dad

Paul Gascoigne and daughter Bianca

England football great Paul Gascoigne's stepdaughter Bianca is overwhelmed by the love that Italians have for her father. Gascoigne excelled for Italian club, Lazio in the 90s.

"I get stopped by strangers wanting to talk about dad. He was so different to what they were used to in a footballer, everyone fell in love with him. Because of that, I've felt really welcomed. The production team sing football chants wherever I go. They say: ‘Oh, you're like your dad. You're crazy,' " Bianca, a model, who is currently participating in Italy's Dancing with the Stars, told The Sun recently.

Bianca added that their father-daughter bond is so strong that Gascoigne has a tattoo of her face on his back. "A few years ago I sent him a photo of me with a sad face and the words ‘miss you.' He loved it so much that he actually got it tattooed. The next thing I knew my face was on his back. That's just my dad - impulsive, like me. But I love it and it really shows how much he cares about me," she said.
