His nickname "the rottweiler" originates from his time at Tyrrell working under his mentor Harvey Postlethwaite. Gascoyne was originally called "Harvey's pit bull" by a truckie called "Jolly" but this was later changed to "the rottweiler" and has stuck with him ever since.

Gascoyne currently lives in Oxfordshire and Norfolk with his partner Silvi and his children Joel, Connie and Freddie Gascoyne.
