Meanwhile William Hill have slashed his odds of appearing in a panto to 5-1.

Yesterday he told The Sun that he may, in fact, waltz his way back into politics following an outpouring of public support.

After winning over millions with his whole-hearted routines, Ed, 49, has not ruled out a return to Westminster.

In an exclusive interview, he told The Sun: “There’s been a massive change in 18 months for me — from losing a public vote to winning all these public votes.

“If I had set out for a political comeback I’m not sure I’d have channelled Zoolander.

“I’m not sure I would have done Gangnam or Great Balls of Fire. It’s such a weird time.
