    Strictly Come Dancing: Ed Balls Gets Kicked In The Face On Tour And OUCH.

    Former politician and current national treasure/dance sensation Ed Balls has had a teeny-tiny mishap on stage – and it looks like it hurt A LOT. Currently appearing alongside the rest of the 2016 Strictly class on the Strictly Come Dancing tour, Ed was dancing with partner Katya Jones when the accident occurred. Ed was dancing with Katya, who had been lifted upside down in the middle of a routine, when she, unfortunately, kicked a little bit too hard – and whacked him in the face with her foot.

    Strictly Come Dancing: The end of Ed’s Era

    From the highs to the lows: An extraordinary high for Danny and Oti, as their samba becomes the only one in Strictly history to score a perfect 40. With Ed making an uncharacteristic error and the Judge improving, it was the former (soon to be again?) politician, as expected, who exited the show. The Judge and Oksana delivered a sweet rumba, but rumbas rarely resonate with the audience, especially when up against showstoppers like Danny and Oti’s exhilarating samba.

The former shadow Chancellor was spotted outside BBC Broadcasting House with a nasty looking gash on his forehead, which could’ve left Strictly fans wondering whether being thrown around the dancefloor by ballroom star Katya Jones was taking its toll on the 49-year-old politician.
