Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been charged with drink-driving following an incident at a takeaway in Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire. The 42-year-old will appear at Northallerton Magistrates' Court on 16 April.
Gascoigne was also charged with driving without insurance and driving without a licence when he answered bail at Northallerton police station yesterday. A 40-year-old man has been charged with drink-driving, being in charge of a motor vehicle while over the limit, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance in connection with the same incident.
Both men were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle after police were called at 9.10pm on 7 February. They were later released on bail pending further inquiries.
A North Yorkshire police spokesman said: 'The two men answered bail at Northallerton police station yesterday and were charged with a number of offences.'
