Corbin Bleu fans have worked out identity of High School Musical's star's dad
Fans of High School Musical star Corbin Bleu have been left gobsmacked after realising where they have seen his dad before as the proud father visits his son in London as he is currently on the West End Disney Channel fans have been left gobsmacked after only just realising that Corbin Bleu 's dad has appeared in some of their favourite films and TV shows, often co-starring as his real life son's father on-screen. It comes after the 66-year-old dad, named David Reivers, recently visited Bleu as he is currently lives in London. Corbin, best known for his role as basketball star Chad in the High School Musical films, made his West End debut this year in the premiere of The Great Gatsby musical. The Broadway star is playing Nick Carraway at the London Coliseum, alongside Love Island contestant and west end star, Amber Davies. The I Don't Dance singer was stunned after his cast mates surprised him with High School Musical songs during a pre-show warm up recently - and fans have been rushing to see him on stage in the glamorous performance. As well as fans rushing to see him while he is in London, his dad has also paid him a visit. Last weekend, Corbin shared a video of his dad seeing his son on a Great Gatsby poster in St Martin's Lane. The proud dad smiled as he took a picture and said, "hey y'all that's my son". "I'm so proud man," he told Corbin, adding, "that is so f***ing awesome". Corbin wrote: "Pops never misses a show." Amber Davies commented and said: "He's OUR dad now." And while the sweet moment raked in over two million views on TikTok, people could not get over their disbelief that David Reivers is his dad. One fan commented: "Your father is David Reivers? How did I not know this?" While another probed: "The dad from Jump In is your actual dad?" A third chimed in: "The Jump In dad was the real papi this whole time," while a fourth echoed: "Your dad is Jump In dad?" Someone else wrote: "You mean to tell me that was your real dad this whole time?" One other, who has proven she is a true fan, said: "The fact most of ya'll didn't know the Jump In dad was his real dad... wee you guys never paying attention to the Disney behind the scenes they used to do on Disney Channel?" David played Corbin's dad in the 2007 film Jump Inn, where a teenage boxer falls in love with rope jumping. Corbin's real dad also played his father in High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Plus he also starred alongside his soon in 2008 film Free Style. The dad-of-four also starred in Nikelodeon's Drake and Josh as a police office, and in 2006 he also starred as a police office in Gilmore Girls. Plus, he played Sergeant Clemente in one episode of Desperate Housewives. David also played Bob Cowan in eight episodes of Charmed. But he has not done much acting recently; his last noted role was in The Fosters in 2016. He often shares updates on his life on his Instagram page @dareivers. The proud dad recently shared a video clip of his time in London and said: "Having an amazing time in London seeing my son @corbinbleu absolutely kill it in a fantastic production of The Great Gatsby Musical in the West End, and proud of him."

Strictly Come Dancing line-up rumours revealed for 2025
Bosses are reportedly keen to avoid any further controversies this year, and are 'taking no chances' in bookings. Blue Peter presenters Joel Mawhinney and Shini Muthukrishnan are said to be in the running, along with Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's son. According to the MailOnline, a host of famous faces have already been approached for this year's series, which is set to get underway in September. Other big names reportedly lined up include former I'm A Celebrity winner Georgia Toffolo, Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, ex-Love Island star Dani Dyer, and former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan. A BBC insider reportedly told MailOnline: "There will be stringent checks, and asking around, and digging into potential stars' backgrounds to make sure that they're not choosing anyone who might damage the show. 'For years, there was the whole Strictly 'curse' where the contestants and professionals kept having affairs. But that stopped. "Changes were made to the partnerships and it worked. There have been other issues in the past couple of years, though. 'Going forward, those at the top want a wholesome image to shine through. No more scandal – just joy." It follows recent controversies on Strictly, where professional dancer Giovanni Pernice was the subject of an internal investigation. Recommended reading: Former BBC Radio Wales host Wynne Evans also issued a public apology for making what he called an 'inappropriate and unacceptable' comment during the Strictly live tour launch in December last year. Earlier this week, EastEnders' actor Jamie Borthwick was also suspended by the BBC after allegedly using a slur against disabled people while filming Strictly in Blackpool. The BBC declined to comment on any speculation regarding this year's series when approached by Newsquest.
