British Transport Police PC Robert Moody told Teesside Crown Court Mr Gascoigne was drinking beer at a hotel when he arrived to arrest him and he was in an "intoxicated, drunken state".

He said that, after the defendant had been arrested, he told a custody sergeant: "All I was doing was trying to help a fat lass."

Earlier the court was told the former Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton midfielder "forcefully and sloppily" kissed the woman on the lips while drunk on the train and that she was left "shocked and upset".

The jury heard that after his arrest, Mr Gascoigne, who now lives in Leicester, told police it was "a peck on the lips" and indicated he did not consider it a serious matter.

The court heard Mr Gascoigne claimed he had kissed her to "boost her confidence" after he said other passengers had been teasing her about her build.

He kissed her to 'boost her confidence' - who exactly does this shambling moron of a man think he is?

She should have kicked him hard in the balls and told him that was to boost his confidence!
