Strictly viewers fell in love with Ed Balls’ sultry Tango
The former MP lit up the stage with a Zoolander-inspired routine

Published:
Ed Balls’ bizarrely entertaining journey through Strictly Come Dancing continued last night, where the former politician dazzled the crowd with a Zoolander-inspired Tango.
Complete with Blue Steel pouts, intense gyrations and some slick moves by partner Katya Jones, it was truly a sight to behold – and it’s safe to say viewers on the night were pretty entranced.
Surely @edballs pouting makes him a winner ? #strictly

Could you imagine the uproar if Honey G won x factor, Ed Balls won strictly and Martin won Im a Celebrity. #XFactor #Strictly #ImACeleb

I hope one day I'll have as much fun as Ed Balls is having every week on #Strictly

Ed Balls did the best thing in doing Strictly Come Dancing and it has given him a platform to become the Labour leader he always craved.

Genuinely think @edballs is here to save 2016. Amazing entertainment. On a side note, Katyas dress is beautiful! She looks gorgeous.

I'm increasingly of the view that the only thing that can save 2016 is Ed Balls winning strictly #scd #ComeontheBalls

Though one person perhaps not QUITE as enthusiastic (at least about a festive suggestion by the series) was Balls’ wife Yvette Cooper MP…
That's @edballs Christmas card sorted then! #Strictly #EdBalls pic.twitter.com/wkf5rznZXA

The Judges may be against you, Ed, but you’re surely the people’s Strictly Champion.
