Dancing On Ice winner Regan Gascoigne appears worse for wear after partying into night

Dancing On Ice winner Regan Gascoigne clearly had a good night partying with his co-stars and family as he was seen slumped in the back seat of his car looking worse for wear in the early hours.

Enjoying a knees up after his victorious win, Regan appeared to enjoy the celebrations with his sister Bianca Gascoigne, 35.

After the Dancing On Ice live finale and the after party that followed, the 2022 winner of the ITV skating show could be seen with his sister Bianca at 2.30am making a swift exit from the studios.

Driven by his mum Sheryl, Regan and Bianca could be seen looking like they had partied hard while in the back seat of the car, while Sheryl gave a thumbs up to the paps.

The apparent night of partying hard came after 26-year-old pro dancer Regan triumphed over Strictly's Brendan Cole and The Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly Wyatt.

The finale was closely fought, but ended with Regan lifting the coveted trophy after performing a seamless rendition of the iconic dance Bolero.

Speaking after their win was announced, Regan was initially speechless but admitted he couldn't believe he had won.

Regan's win came as viewers took to Twitter to fume over the fact that the three finalists were "already professional dancers".

Viewers of the ITV skating show seemed annoyed by the fact that the three finalists all have backgrounds in musical theatre or dancing.

Taking to Twitter to air their frustrations, viewers have been getting everything off their chests.

One person penned: "Gosh, who will win this? The professional dancer, the professional dancer, or the professional dancer?"

Another then added: "I genuinely like them all and think they’re all amazing, and they’re all professional dancers anyway but they’ve all been amazing to be able to do it on ice, so I don’t really mind who wins."

Winner Regan's prior dance experience comes from having studied at the Hammond Ballet School, musical theatre at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and The Actors Class London.

Not only this but he performed in The Nutcracker with the English National Ballet and also auditioned for The Greatest Dancer.

The prior experience of the trio of finalists was addressed before the finale.

"If we were all the same, would that not make for a really dull show?" Brendan said as he defended himself and his fellow competitors, "It just so happened that the three of us have got dance experience and we are all now pushing each other to do the most incredible television."

While Kimberley added: "You’re never going to convince everybody that you deserve to be there or don’t deserve to be there. Ultimately, we’ve all gone out there and done our best to create the best series ever and I think we are going into what could be the best final ever – because of the three of us. I've been really grateful for my dance background."

Victorious Regan insisted the trio had "all started from nothing to get here" despite their dancing background, as he says it is a completely different type of movement compared to that on a normal dance floor.
