Paul Gascoigne is being inspired back to health by a picture of his step-daughter Bianca starring in TV show 'Gladiators'.
The troubled former soccer star has covered his room in London's The Priory Clinic - where he is staying since being sectioned for his own safety and is now seeking treatment for his severe depression and alcohol-related problems - with family photographs and has given pride of place to the picture of Bianca.
A source close to the family said: "Bianca gave Paul the photo of herself in her Gladiator gear and he's pinned it up. Bianca's star is on the rise and he's clinging to that as hope that he himself can one day be at the top again.
"He's delighted for her - and that his relationship with Bianca's mum Sheryl is back on again. Bianca is glad to be able to play a part in helping him recover.
Relations between the two were strained for many years, but the family is getting on better now than they have for a very long time.

The 21-year-old is due to go head-to-head with former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant Danielle Lloyd in a celebrity edition of the revived game-show.
She is said to be delighted by Paul's response to the picture.
