Paul Gascoigne shares heartwarming message for son Regan as he competes in Dancing on Ice final
REGAN Gascoigne was brought to tears after his dad and footballing icon Paul Gascoigne made a surprise appearance during the Dancing On Ice final.
During tonight’s grand finale, Regan will be hoping to prove his footwork is as fancy as his dad’s when taking to the ice.
The 25-year-old dancer, who is the youngest of football legend Gazza, has taken to the ice like a pro alongside skating partner, Karina Manta.
Regan was comforted by Karina, as he burst out into tears watching back his best moments on the show.
In the sweet video clip, his family spoke of how proud they are of him and how the trophy was his for the taking.
Regan has even left Gazza wiping away the tears with his beautiful routines so far this season.

“I’m embracing every moment of it, but I don’t think I’m the dark horse.”
