"Time to do the Gangnam": Ed Balls is dusting off his dancing shoes for Comic Relief
It was Another Day of Rain in London as Strictly star Ed Balls helped to recreate the La La Land opening number
If you thought all that was missing from La La Land's epic opening number was former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls doing Gangnam Style, you're in for a treat.
The Strictly Come Dancing star has slipped on his dancing shoes again for a special Red Nose Day performance in aid of Comic relief.
Oscar-winning film La La Land kicks things off with a spectacular set piece on a traffic-filled Los Angeles highway where, to the tune of Another Day of Sun, the drivers get out of their cars and break into song and dance in true musical style. Of course, both Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are stuck in the bumper-to-bumper traffic.
But Comic Relief's version of the scene will reportedly focus on more home-grown talent, including Lenny Henry, Miranda Hart, Warwick Davis and Katy Brand who have been spotted filming the spoof.
But while it was Another Day of Sun in LA, over here in Britain it was Another Day of Rain...
