      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.

      Strictly Come Dancing 2016: Stars accused of ‘cheating’ just days into new series

      Strictly Come Dancing has been hit with fresh “fix claims” just days into the new series as celebrity contestants have been accused of “cheating” after sneaking in extra rehearsals. This weekend saw the show’s stars – including Danny Mac, Ed Balls and Daisy Lowe – take to the BBC ballroom floor for the first time, but it has been reported that some dance couples are getting more practice than others. The participating celebrities are reportedly only allowed a set amount of rehearsals, but after Friday night’s show, some contestants took to the Elstree Studios stage to practice their moves before their Saturday night debut.

      Ed Balls Predicted To Make Strictly History With Lowest Score Ever

      Bookmakers are offering 6/1 odds that Ed Balls will make Strictly history this weekend with the lowest EVER score. William Hill reckons that the former politician is in line to set a new record for the worst score ever awarded on the hit BBC show - a title currently held by former Top Gear star, Quentin Wilson during Series 2. “Ed Balls could easily be the worst dancer in the history of Strictly – although he will be going some to produce a worse dance than Quentin Willson’s now infamous Cha Cha Cha,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

      Accident Leaves Ed Balls Needing A Strictly Make-Over

      Ed Balls is probably one of the more awkward stars donning the spandex for Strictly Come Dancing this year – and it seems his clumsiness isn’t just restricted to ballroom dancing. 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. Never mind Ed, we’ve all done it.

      Strictly Come Dancing: Is Tim Peake Joining The 2016 Line-Up?

      BBC talent show producers are reportedly keen to secure Tim, 44, for a two-step across the ballroom, but there’s one slight snag – the International Space Station crewmember is undergoing intensive physical therapy for two years. Despite claiming the top spot on the wish list, Tim is currently having treatment to recover muscle strength that has been lost in the zero gravity atmosphere, according to The Sun. After returning from space expeditions, astronauts must learn how to walk again and physical activities present a high risk for breaking weakened bones – so Tim’s Strictly debut would probably have to be postponed until 2017.
