Regan said he avoids the spotlight because performing is his passion, and he aspires to be judged solely on his skill. “I don’t want to be famous, I just want to be successful in what I do,” he explained.

“I wouldn’t want to not have Dad as dad, but I would love to grow up not being the son of a famous person,” he said. Gascoigne continued by saying that he finds it “really hard,” because “people know what he does, they assume I’m a joke act, or I’m not actually going to be able to dance or sing.
“But as Dad tells me if I keep working hard, I can achieve anything.”
After appearing on The Greatest Dancer, Regan went on to build a career in the music business. He sang with Urban Voices Collective and Demi Lovato at the Europe Music Awards and on ITV’s The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night.
