'Dancing On Ice' 2022 winner: Who won the celebrity skating show?

Dancing On Ice 2022 champion Regan Gascoigne was speechless after being crowned the winner of the celebrity skating show.

The 26-year-old dancer - son of football star Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne - burst into tears as his name was announced, pipping Strictly Come Dancing pro Brendan Cole to the post in the ITV final.

Host Holly Willoughby said: "I dont think we're going to hear anything from these two, Are you okay? Can you believe it? Did you ever believe this was possible?"

Gascoigne, who sobbed as he hugged partner Karina Manta, said: "Never."

As he was excitedly lifted up by his fellow contestants in celebration, he almost dropped the trophy on the rink and broke it.

Gascoigne was emotional as he awaited the results, saying: "The whole day has been like whoosh, I'm trying to hold it together so much."

Runner-up Cole, 45 said: "I've loved every second of this show, I'll be very sad when it ends. My body won't be, my body will be very glad of a rest."

Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt missed out on her chance to perform the Bolero after finishing third.

The 40-year-old singer and dancer said: "Thank you so much, this has been such a beautiful experience and I'm so grateful to everyone for everything they've done for us."

Cole and Gascoigne - son of football star Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne - went forward to perform their Boleros before the public crowned the winner of the series.

The performances are a nod to the fact that Torvill and Dean won gold when they performed to Ravel's Bolero at the 1984 Olympics.

The 2022 finalists all found fame as professional dancers.

All three performed routines choreographed by head judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, as well as their favourite dances of the series.

Gascoigne had to step to come to professional partner Karina Manta's aid after she suffered a wardrobe malfunction during their second routine of the night.

The show's final was initially expected to be on 20 March but was delayed by a week because of football airing on ITV.

This year's series saw both hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby miss a week of presenting due to testing positive for coronavirus, as well as contestants Rachel Stevens and Bez.

Brendan Cole performed an all-male routine for Musicals Week with stand-in partner Brendyn Hatfield after his usual partner Vanessa Bauer tested positive for COVID-19.
