Dancing on Ice comes to an end for another year on Sunday night and one of the celebrity skater who got their hands on the trophy was Regan Gascoigne.
Regan was partnered with pro skater Karina Manta on Dancing on Ice and, with just hours to go until cameras started rolling on his debut at the end of January, he took to Instagram to write: “It’s SHOW DAY! My excitement and nerves are all over the place!”
Since then, Regan hasd been consistently near the top of the leaderboard, thank to a series of impressive routines and equally impressive scores from the judges.

He made it through to the final of the ITV show after an emotional personal slate in honour of his mum Sheryl. And, on Sunday night, for the final, he reprised his favourite number from the series - the Barnum inspired routine which wowed the judges and had older sister Bianca in tears.
He also got the chance to skate to Bolero before he and Karina were crowned Dancing on Ice winners.
Who is Regan Gascoigne?
Regan, born in February 1996, is the son of football legend Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne and his ex wife Cheryl.
A keen dancer from a young age, Regan enrolled at the Hammond Ballet School.
He then studied Musical Theatre at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.
Regan, who is also a keen diver, came out as bisexual in 2019, talking about his sexuality in a live TV interview on Lorraine.
Speaking about Regan’s interview and how proud he was of him, Gazza told the Sunday Mirror: “I told him ‘It doesn’t matter what you do son, I will support you 100 per cent, you have to do what makes you happy.'”
“I thought ‘bless him’. To go on TV and do that is hard.
“He is a professional dancer, he is a fit guy, and I am very proud of him.”
Gazza was in the audience to see Regan skate on week two of the competition, wiping away tears as he praised his son to host Holly Willoughby.
