    Paul Gascoigne cried as he recalled the emotional toll of being subject to phone hacking.

    The former England footballer, 57, was awarded £188,250 in damages in 2015 after a court found he had been subject to hacking by Mirror Group journalists writing celebrity stories.

    Speaking to the ITV documentary Tabloids on Trial, Mr Gascoigne said he became a “recluse” and bought six phones when he thought he was subject to phone hacking.

    He became visibly emotional as he recalled how he became suspicious of his parents during this time.
