He has been 'cut' from the drama
Thirteen years ago, former England footballer, Paul Gascoigne became an unlikely by-stander in a tragic news story - when he bizarrely turned up during a stand-off between a gunman and police. However, according to a report, the footballer will not appear in ITV's The Hunt for Raoul Moat, despite turning up at the scene of the killer's final stand-off.
According to Chronicle Live, Moat shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart, killed her new boyfriend Christopher Brown and blinded PC David Rathband. The week long manhunt came to a climax on the banks of the River Coquet in Rothbury, Northumberland. The man hunt became huge news with the gunman even making threats to the wider public after becoming incensed by some of the coverage about him in national newspapers.
Eventually, after an abandoned tent belonging to Moat had been found in woodland, a stand-off with police followed. However, in a strange turn of events, Gazza turned up armed with a fishing road, lager and a cooked chicken. True crime drama The Hunt for Raoul Moat will debut on ITV1 on Sunday, April 16 but the team behind the three part series, with a cast including Matt Stoke as Moat and Lee Ingleby as DCS Neil Adamson of Northumbria Police, have confirmed that, while Gazza will be mentioned, no-one will be playing him on screen.
