Thought Ed Balls' days dancing Gangnam Style were over? Think again: the Strictly Come Dancing star and former Labour minister is now teaching his political rival Michael Gove all his best moves.

The impromptu dancing lesson is part of a promo for Channel 4's The Last Leg: Re-United Kingdom, a two-hour political comedy special in memory of MP Jo Cox.

In the clip, two middle-aged white men try to make themselves more appealing to the youth base by trying out a YouTube dance craze that peaked nearly five years ago.

It’s not the first time Balls has tried to share his Gangnam Style skills, having also taught journalist Nick Robinson the routine during an appearance on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Here's the original Strictly performance again, because we all need a reason to smile right now.
