Paul Gascoigne is thought to have been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

Northumbria Police didn't name the man in custody but it is believed to be the former England footballer.

'A 41-year-old man was arrested at an address in Dunston this morning on suspicion of criminal damage,' a police spokesperson tells The Sun. 'Inquiries are ongoing.'

Gazza has battled alcohol and mental health issues for the past few years.

In February he was sectioned under the mental health act after an incident at a Tyneside hotel.
