Ed Balls smacked his face on a door while promoting Strictly Come Dancing
The former MP managed to injure himself while nowhere near the dance floor

Injuries in training for Strictly Come Dancing aren't uncommon what with all of that flinging each other about, but Ed Balls has gone one step further and managed to bash his face while simply promoting the dancing show.
The former MP was at the Guardian office to talk all things sparkly and was "smacked in the face" by an automatic glass door, leaving with a nasty cut on his face.
