Dancing On Ice's Jayne Torvill reduces Regan Gascoigne to tears after moving performance

Dancing On Ice judge and icon Jayne Torvill reduced Regan Gascoigne to tears in tonight's episode of the show.

This week, the remaining couples were tasked with recreating some of Torvill and Dean's most iconic performances from over the years.

Many of the stars managed to impress the judges, but specifically Regan and his dancing partner Karina Manta.

Jayne was left touched by their routine to Barnum by Cy Coleman, Michael Reed Orchestra and started to get emotional as she gave them feedback.

She told Paul Gascoigne's son: "Technically your skating has always been good.

"But tonight I think everything came together. I think the performance...

"I'm getting emotional now."

Jayne had to stop mid-sentence as she began welling up.

Meanwhile, judge Oti Mabuse saved her as she began praising Regan's incredible performance.

She added: "Regan, do you know what? For a couple of weeks I kind of felt you were on the same level for a while.

"But tonight this was a different level, this was expensive. And expensive in terms of you were so technically good.

"That was fantastic and it's exactly what we want to see when we think of Regan skating."

Holly said: "Regan, this obviously clearly means so much to you to hear those comments from the judges."

By this point, Regan was choking on his tears as he told the judges: "It's just insane. It's not even just a story, it's a life for you.

"It's such an honour to get to recreate something from part of your life."

Elsewhere on the show, viewers praised Torvill and Dean's opening performance - with many saying it was 'mesmerising'.

The skating champions left viewers in awe as they took to the ice rink to put on a show for this week's theme, which is dedicated to them.
