England football star Paul Gascoigne's step-daughter Bianca recalls how he looked forward to festivities
Reality TV star Bianca, 31, has fond childhood memories of spending Christmas with her step dad and former England football hero Paul Gascoigne. "Christmas time was always family time and we would all come together and be in good form. It was a good time for the family and dad loves this time of year. Every year when mum and dad were together we'd go up to a hotel called Cameron House on Loch Lomand in Scotland and stay in a lodge there.

"My happiest memories growing up are Christmases there. It would often snow and was so pretty, we'd all be in good spirits and excited for a break away from everything," Bianca, who has been working on rebuilding her relationship with him over the years as he battles alcohol addiction, told The Daily Star.
