Paul Gascoigne ... hotel room rowPAUL Gascoigne has been charged with drink-driving during his "lost weekend" fishing trip.
The former England soccer ace was arrested twice in 48 hours and allegedly wrecked a hotel room during a trip away with a pal last month.
Gazza, 42, has now been charged with drink-driving and having no insurance or licence.
His friend, Michael Harvey, 40, was accused of drink-driving, driving while disqualified, having no insurance and being in charge of a vehicle while over the limit.
They will appear before magistrates in Northallerton, North Yorks, on April 16. Harvey said yesterday: "Obviously I'm denying it. I need to speak to Paul to find out what he thinks about it."
Gascoigne has battled alcoholism for years but Harvey said: "Paul's fine. He is doing all right and not drinking at the minute."
The pair had checked into the Black Horse Inn, in Kirkby Fleetham, North Yorks, to go fly fishing at a local lake.
But following the first night they were asked to leave after ex-Spurs star Gascoigne was said to have trashed his room. It was also claimed they tried to take logs from outside the hotel.
An off-duty cop arrested them later in nearby Leeming Bar.
