It's so different."To be dancing on the floor, you have friction and you have stability."This is just - you don't. You're holding your core in a totally different way to how you would be dancing."Lifting people is totally different, it is a completely different skill."The ice is a completely different element."Paul now has a mended relationship with his children, as in the height of his addiction Regan previously said he did not want his father in his life.Since Regan has shared his regret for making the comment in the 2013 documentary starring himself and his sister.During a previous interview with The Sun, the dancer said: "We have such a good relationship."There have been ups and downs, but that is.
