Paul Gascoigne’s son has auditioned for ‘The Greatest Dancer’.
Regan Gascoigne, 23 – who the former England footballer shares with ex wife Sheryl – tried out for the BBC One competition, but didn’t mention the football legend to dance captains Otis Mabuse, Cheryl Tweedy, Matthew Morrison and Todrick Hall.
A show source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "Regan wanted to be taken seriously in his own right. He turned up and gave his name but no one really made the link.
"The dance captains and the audience had no clue his dad is football royalty."
A BBC spokesman added: "’The Greatest Dancer’ returns to BBC One next year and contestants will be announced in due course."
Regan’s ‘Greatest Dancer’ audition comes seven years after his sister Bianca Gascoigne tried out for ‘The X Factor’.
She performed Mary J. Blige’s ‘I’m Goin’ Down’ for the judges – then made up of Rita Ora, Tulisa Contostavlos, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh – but she failed to impress.
Gary told her: "Your voice is just not good enough. If I look at the other 25-year-olds on the show they’ve been singing all their lives. You should have a better voice by now.
"In general it was a bit of a mediocre performance."
Tulisa added: "I admire you’ve come up here to change the public’s perception of you.
"I think you’re a cool girl, I’ve met you out a few times. But I’m not feeling the vocals."
Rita said: "I’ve heard better singers."
Bianca is no stranger to reality TV having won ‘Celebrity Love Island’ in 2006 alongside Calum Best, and she has also appeared in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, and ‘Celebrity Coach Trip’.
