Paul Gascoigne had viewers at home highly entertained as he used some of his Geordie charm on Dancing on Ice host Holly Willoughby live on TV.
Football legend Gazza was in the audience of the ITV show to see son Regan perform, alongside his pro partner Karina Manta, after the pair got off to a flying start last weekend, scoring 33 out of 40 for their first skate.
On Sunday night's Dancing on Ice, Regan and Karina skated to the title track of classic movie Singin' in the Rain, with Regan stepping into the shoes of film icon Gene Kelly.

And, despite Regan making a slight stumble on a turn, he and Karina scored even higher than week 1, getting 33.5.
Dad Gazza looked very much on the verge of tears as the camera cut to him and Regan's sister Bianca at the end of the routine.
And then, when host Holly interviewed the two of them before the result was announced, Gazza, 54, laid on the charm, telling Holly: "I didn't really come to see Regan. I came to see you to be fair.but don't tell anyone!
He was then left in tears as he spoke of his huge pride in Regan as Bianca put an arm around him.
Regan and Karina made it through to next Sunday's Dance Week on the public vote, with Rachel Stevens defeating Rhia Hebden in this week's Skate Off, to keep her place on the show, after missing her first week due to injury.
Ahead of Sunday's show, Bianca and Regan's mum, Gazza's ex-wife Cheryl revealed that one of Regan teacher's had likened him to Gene Kelly at school.
Bianca added: “And that’s who done Singin’ in the Rain! So let’s hope he channels that this week.
“Well we know he’s going to channel him, but if you wouldn’t mind getting behind out baby boy…please vote for Regan!!!”
