Paul Gascoigne has revealed meeting Colonel Gaddafi made him fearless.
The pair had an unlikely meeting in the 90s and it changed him for good.
It means footie legend Gazza isn’t phased by anything anymore.
He said: “No one really bothers us. When you get invited to Gaddafi’s house and there’s a big bomb in the living room and you’ve got to sign something for Gaddafi, that’s more worrying…I was s***ting myself.”

He added: “When you’ve put your arm around Maggie Thatcher and you’ve kissed Princess Diana…“I’m a Geordie. I don’t give a s***.
“And I was at Wembley not long ago and Prince William was there and I just went over, climbed a couple of seats at Wembley and kissed him.”

Gazza has been through plenty of other nerve-racking moments in his life.
He said: “I’m not scared of anything, because of what I’ve been through in my life…
“People keep saying, ‘You’ve got more lives than a cat’. That’s because I have. I’ve had a near-death experience, 36 operations, I’ve died a couple of times and they’ve put me in a coma for 18 days. I’ve come through all that.”

The former England star wasn’t remotely scared when he signed up for new TV show Scared of the Dark, which meant living in a pitch black bunker for more than a week.
Before taking part, he said: “Hopefully this’ll be a little bit easier than what I’ve put myself through.
“But I know it’s going to be a challenge. I know it’s going to be quite tough, but I’m looking forward to it.

“And then obviously, there must be girls going in there, so I don’t want to be embarrassing myself in front of girls. I want to be macho, man.”
