NO FUNNY BUSINESS
Lorraine Kelly fears this year’s Strictly Come Dancing is ‘missing’ a comedy act – and says she wants Brendan Cole back
The TV presenter wants a laugh like viewers had with Ed Balls' Gangnam Style, Ann Widdecombe and John Sergeant
LORRAINE Kelly fears this year's Strictly Come Dancing is "missing" its iconic comedy act - and fiery professional Brendan Cole.
The TV presenter delivered her verdict on the latest series after Seann Walsh and Katya Jones returned to perform for the first time since their drunken snog.

She told The Sun's Dan Wootton on her ITV show this morning: "I watched for the first time on Saturday, not for any other reason than I've been out a lot and I've got the cold so had to stay in.
"I think it really misses Brendan Cole you know, I really do.
"I think it misses the comedy act. The comedy act that we all think that's a laugh.
"But Sean and Katya went through."

A whopping 1.5million more people tuned in on Saturday night to see if sparks would fly between the shamed pair after getting caught kissing in the street - despite being in committed relationships.
Although the country has been gripped on the explosive cheating scandal revealed by The Sun on Sunday, Lorraine worries that the latest series is lacking something.

It's after professional dancer Brendan was axed from the show without warning.
The series' stars have also been branded “shockingly brilliant” by judge Darcey Bussell who revealed her favourites are Joe Sugg and Kate Silverton.
But the high-callibre of contestants has meant that there hasn't been the usual fun acts this year.
