Vinnie Jones is planning to help Paul Gascoigne by getting him to take part in a new reality TV show.

The soccer-star-turned-Hollywood actor is desperate to see Paul - who has struggled with an addiction to alcohol for years - return to health and is planning to kidnap the former soccer ace, who is nicknamed 'Gazza', and take him to a deserted island then film the pair of them living together for several weeks.

The source added to Britain's the Sun newspaper: It will be a bit like a cross between 'Castaway' and 'Lost' with lots of survival tactics

A source said: "Vinnie thinks it's terrible what Gazza has been going through and is convinced some tough love is needed.

"Vinnie loves hunting and fishing and reckons it does more to aid the soul than things like rehab. Gazza is a man's man so it should be up his street."

Vinnie, 44, is planning to teach Paul, 41, "survival tactics" on the show, which he believes will keep viewers glued to their seats.

The source added to Britain's the Sun newspaper: "It will be a bit like a cross between 'Castaway' and 'Lost' with lots of survival tactics. With Vinnie and Gazza together it will be full of surprises."

Producers have already discussed the idea with Paul's agents, and are keen for the show to be aired later this year once the football star is out of a rehabilitation clinic.
