Dancing On Ice viewers have declared who they want to win the 2022 series – Regan Gascoigne.
The son of former pro footballer Paul Gascoigne, Regan, took to the ice with his professional skating partner Karina Manta.
His performance immediately impressed the Dancing On Ice judges, and viewers at home were equally taken by his prowess on the ice.
Regan’s skills got him the best score so far on the series. He was given two eights, and two 8.5s, for a total of 33 out of 40.
The judges were so impressed they told him that his first-week performance was the best ever.
Dancing On Ice viewers praised Regan Gascoigne
“Regan Gascoigne, by far the best performance of the night, possibly the series,” said one viewer.

Lots of viewers were impressed by Regan. However, some felt as though his dance experience gave him an unfair advantage.
“#DancingOnIce Regan has got an advantage though being a dancer… but nevertheless brilliant!” said one fan.
A second insisted: “#dancingonice watching Regan and I just thought that he was too good. His thing is that he is a trained dancer – and so is Brendan [Cole] – and I think that they shouldn’t be competing here.”
Dancing On Ice returns Sunday, January 30 at 6pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
