This my favourite from you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2zd_DzJdCg as it has the trainingg vid and joodges comments. This has over 30k views and there are several other vids clocking up maybe another 10k views. So, indeed, this paring from heaven is going viral.
Go Ed and Katya |

I know I've posted this other link to their Salsa, but it is worth watching again. When they finish and the crowd erupts, listen for the feet stamping (if you've been to live gigs at a theatre, you will know what I mean). Who else has managed that?

I overheard you speaking about magnificent Katya and delightful Ed, and could not stay away.
Like many posters here I am addicted to watching Ed's routines on YouTube. It's pure joy to watch them dance (except THAT lift), and I always end up laughing aloud. Ed seems to be a genuinely kind and funny chap, and I am sure his children adore him (I would if he were my father). But I would have been bored soon had it not been for Katya's first class choreography and Ed's great sense of rhythm. May they entertain us as long as possible! |

Just watching last night's ITT......Ed and Katya I believe will be firm friends for years.....they have such a wonderful and warm relationship, and Katya is soooo amazing and obviously very good fun.
I love them! |

Hi All,
My first post on this thread and have to say I am loving watching Ed Balls and Katya Jones When they were paired I was feeling sorry for Katya, being a new pro, and paired with a 'non-contender' ...how wrong was I and delighted I was Ed & Katya, IMO, are one of the biggest reasons, that SCD is so successful this year. And Ed is improving every week as well. Katya has been a revelation in the cleverness of her choreography and how she combines all the necessary dance elements with pure entertainment. I am sure all of this has been said many times before.but worth repeating ![]() ![]() I am not surprised that their Gangham Salsa is a YT hit - in fact I am surprised that more of their dances aren't also. I am a little concerned, after watching ITT yesterday, that the discussion went from (last week) "Ed Balls HAS to go to Blackpool" to (this week) "If this is your last week Ed, then you have made Blackpool (your Wembley)" Maybe I am reading too much into it but feel like the viewers are being manipulated into not voting for ED this week. For me, after what was not the best week, Ed & Katya provided a lot of cheer and raised many a smile on Saturday night ...and long may that continue KEEP BALLS IN |

For me, the only dance that was appalling was the Paso where it looked as though he'd completely forgotten what he was supposed to be doing.
Otherwise, he is doing so well! Kudos to Katya.. |

Managed to watch ITT on YT as the beeb are uploading the episodes. Thank you BBC! I agree about the bond between Katya and Ed. At one point he was just staring at her in adoration. She's amazingly beautiful. Glowing skin, animated and with a lovely voice. Loved the colour of her top and her necklace - I love quirky jewellery.
![]() Nice to see more new arrivals in the thread btw. Welcome along

I was also in love with her outfit on ITT. It really set off her exotic features. And I so want that necklace!

I dont think we have any need to worry, as Ed said he's lasted much longer in Strictly than he could have dreamt of.
I'd be surprised if he didnt get to the semi's, hoping he can get to the final, but that depends on his being 1st in the public vote, and I'm increasingly believing he might well be We'll also be able to guage how popular he is with the public in how the audience reacts on Saturday, that'll give us a clue. Thought the training tonight looked promising |
