Troubled England football legend Paul Gascoigne's step-daughter seems to have joined her stepfather in alcohol meltdown mode after she reportedly boasted about downing 10 shots and has confessed to enjoying 'pre-loading' with booze.
According to the Daily Star, Bianca Gascoigne, who was wearing a skimpy dress, ended a wild night out kissing and licking British model and UK Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace in a cab.
The report further said that Bianca confessed to looking tipsy on a picture from the party on her Twitter feed, where she stated that she drank a 50-pound coffee liquor with tequila while home alone, adding that the shot was 'massively overdue'.
However, psychologists said that Bianca is putting her life on the line as she struggles to come to terms with Gascoigne's alcohol meltdowns, adding that the strain of seeing her stepfather losing his battle with the bottle is taking a serious toll on her own well-being.
The experts further said that Bianca needs to control her binging while under severe emotional stress or risk getting caught in the same downward spiral as her troubled stepfather.
According to TV psychologist Jo Hemming, a person under emotional stress is vulnerable for alcohol becoming a pattern of heavy drinking, adding that it gets worrying when a person begins drinking at home alone or needs to have some drinks to 'feel normal' before going out.
Stating that it is important for Bianca to be aware of the pitfalls associated with boozing while under emotional strain, Henning also said that young people should be careful of alcohol-laden parties as it can become a pattern, especially for someone in a severe emotional situation.
Friends feared that Bianca was bottling up her emotions, although her spokesman said that she has been keeping her head down recently following her family troubles and just felt like she needed to let her hair down.
