Do you think it was Ed Balls that made Claudia scream?

Anyone who saw him on the BBC's 'Bake Off' could see he has the sort of personality that would go down well on Strictly - funny, self depreciating and enthusiastic. I so hope they give him a great partner ! |

Don't think so at all - there are numerous clips on YouTube of Ed dancing, not exactly Nureyev but he certainly is no John Sergeant !

I loved Ed Balls's response to the Strictly team tweet:

yes but on the dancing side he will be awful, there hasn't been a polician on SCD yet that can dance, look at Ann and Edwina, he will not be scoring much more for his dancing in comparision

Why would he necessarily be awful? Neither Ann or Edwina appeared to want to commit to learning to dance properly but I reckon he will. I admit, I'm not holding my breath waiting for his samba or cha cha, but since he is fairly musical, and very determined, I see no reason why he would not turn in a creditable waltz or quickstep. And he might even dance a reasonable jive. I reckon he'll be a mix. Up one week, down the next.

Natalie's 5ft 9 so wouldn't be likely to get Ed at 5ft 11.
I think it will be Karen. That would be a fun partnership. |

Vince Cable was in a special and was great. He did, of course, dance when younger!

But I'm hoping for a likeable, fun guy in the way of Jeremy Vine, but with fewer plastic horses and face-palming literal theme-ing of 80s lyrics from his youth. |

He played violin as a boy and has learnt to play the piano so he has musicality He is used to speaking live and being in front of an audience, which will help his confidence In his interview this morning he sounded very committed, I got the impression he was dedicated to Strictly and was not fitting it in around a hectic schedule I also got the impression he wanted to learn a skill rather than just have fun A good MOR contestant |

Good grief. Ed Balls first announced participant in SCD this autumn. I struggle to even imagine it.
![]() Am amazed to hear he is 5ft 11.... Always looks quite short to me.... |

Wouldn't it be nice if they announced a celebrity every day ? I hope they do that. Quite ( pleasantly ) surprised at seeing them starting to announce celebrities. Woooohooooo
