A fresh-faced Paul Gascoigne was spotted looking relaxed and healthy at the Miss Great Britain party in London last night.

Fresh-faced: Paul Gascoigne

The former footballer, who has battled alcohol and drug addictions for years, enjoyed a can of Red Bull as he danced at Cafe de Paris, Leicester Square, and caught up with friend Teddy Sheringham.

Just four months ago, home video clips of the star appeared in a documentary screened on Channel 4 called Surviving Gazza, which followed his family's efforts in 2008 to help and rehabilitate him. The programme concluded that despite their attempts, his alcoholism had continued.

But last month he spoke of how he had turned his life around following a stint at the Tony Adams “Sporting Chance” rehabilitation centre. He said he had been 15 months clean of any drugs and sober for a total of four months.
