Though he recently had to turn down a role of a doctor on TV soap Holby City, former football star David Ginola is putting his real-life healing powers to use with his own exclusive A-lister retreat.Catering to a hush-hush roster of celebrities looking to unwind, David's spa, The Centre – which bears the slogan "Be well, be safe, believe" – is nestled in a top secret location in Wiltshire. "The Centre is very important to me," says the French sporting ace of the relaxation getaway. "It's about trust and it's about truth. "While David has been keeping mum on the details of his hideaway for the rich and famous, he recently allowed TV presenter Eamonn Holmes and a camera crew to shoot footage at the spa for the upcoming documentary David Ginola: Secrets And Lies.

"The Centre has been shrouded in secrecy," said a representative for BBC3, which will screen the hour-long programme on September 19. "But David has now agreed to let in cameras for the first time to show life behind the closed doors of his newest, most fascinating project."
