Dancing on Ice's Regan Gascoigne left frustrated over live show wobble

Regan Gascoigne has told fans he's 'trying not to beat himself up' over a slight wobble in his routine on Sunday's Dancing on Ice.

Bookies favourite to win the new series before he'd even set foot on the ice for the first time, Regan and his professional skating partner Karina Manta had a dream debut on January 23, when their opening routine to Sam Smith's Too Good At Goodbyes earning a very impressive week one score of 33 out of 40.

Regan was extra keen to keep up his own high standard in week two's Movie Week as dad Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne was in the audience to watch him in action, alongside older sister Bianca.

The 25-year-old skated alongside Karina to Singin' in the Rain's title track, emulating some of the famous moves of movie icon Gene Kelly, a star Regan was actually likened to by one of his teachers at school.

Regan and Karina once again put in a tremendous routine and scored higher than week one, earning a total of 33.5 from the Dancing on Ice judges.

However, after finding out he'd have scored even higher if it wasn't for a slight stumble on one of his turns, Regan was left disappointed, with frustration etched on his face after the routine finished.

He still earned rave reviews from viewers watching at home, making it through to this weekend's Dance Week on the public vote, but shared his frustrations over the mishap on his Instagram.

Sharing a picture of him and Karina on the ice, Regan, still the top tip to triumph with bookies, wrote: "it was an absolute honour to get the chance to recreate an iconic Dance and try my best to channel Gene Kelly!

"Still so frustrated with myself for the wobble! Trying not to beat myself up about it but I’m having the best time and Love every day on the ice!"

He added: "Having props on the ice is definitely a challenge. Definitely gave @karinamanta & I a lot of laughs and headaches"

Gazza was left in tears by Regan's performance, sharing his pride in his son when being interviewed by host Holly Willoughby.
