Ed Balls panics after being asked to do famous Gangnam Style dance on Strictly It Takes Two – but soon gets stuck in
The Strictly star got into the swing of it and started throwing partner Katya around soon enough
ED Balls looked utterly petrified on Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two after Zoe Ball called on him to recreate his famous Gangnam Style dance.
Presenter Zoe surprised the former MP by prompting him to do his crazy salsa on the spin-off show.
She said, after he and partner Katya Jones finished their exit interview: "We were really hoping you would leave us all with one lasting memory of Gangnam. Just one more time, yes?"
Poor Ed seemed struck with fear as he asked whether she meant now, which Zoe replied that she did.
Katya slapped him on the knee and told him to "come on, darling".
The pair then stood up as Ed appeared to be psyching himself up by saying "okay, okay";.
They stood opposite each other, hands on hips as they shook their hips before he leaped into the air over Katya, just about managing not to knock her out.
He then did Psy's famous dance - with the pair even shakily attempting a scary lift.
Earlier Ed had talked about his plans for the future after Strictly.
He seemed less certain about his return to politics: "I was thinking i was going to go back to politics... I don't know but I'm just recovering form an amazing three months and maybe go on the tour."
Ed was kicked out of the dancing competition at the weekend after being in the dance-off against Judge Rinder.
His hilarious tango failed to woo judges, who caused outrage after admitting they were gunning for him.
The defiant ex-Shadow Chancellor said: “I loved doing that tango, that’s the best we have ever done it.
“I’m sad that I’m not going to be doing it next week, but I’m really glad to have been here and made it this far. It’s fabulous.”
