Just been watching that on +1

Yes, a bit off topic but did many FMs see Ed on Last Leg last night?

Wow, how much weight has he lost now? On 19th October it was reported he had lost a stone, but it is surely more than that now.

I thought he looked really good. Paunch just about gone, and his facial features much more defined. Maybe I should take up dancing ..........................................

I didn't take much notice of him in politics, but have enjoyed seeing him and Katya dancing and on ITT and last night on The Last Leg. He has a friendly personality and the twinkliest eyes. Good luck to him in the competition, he certainly has his fans.

Definitely. I'm up for a Hollins-esque victory. Not the best dancer technically, but unquestionably entertaining.

I definitely would vote for him, although I doubt he'll get to the final - as soon as he's in a dance off the judges will boot him off. I get annoyed by people treating him just as a joke candidate, he's technically quite good and is getting better

I still think JR is more likely to do a Hollis this year. I'd be half tempted to put some money on him actually.

yeah just wondering IF ed goes soon, whether the next target for the 'he shouldn't be in, there are better dancers left' brigade will be JR...or greg...
they are all seen as a threat to their favourite ringer, you see...

I can see the public keeping on putting Ed through until he is in the Final. He has that John Sergeant quality only he is a far better (and more willing) dancer who is really giving it his all.

Though I can't see him winning (think its Rinder's to lose), I would definately vote for him as he has entertained me no end.

Could you imagine his Showdance?!!!

If it gets to that point, I really hope Katya has great insurance cover. I love their partnership, but they're not joking when they talk about being risk-takers.

It's already happening to Greg and some culprits are Ed's supporters. Why you can't support someone without putting the boot into someone else is a tad depressing but hey ho I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion.

If he gets to the final and makes me smile he will be getting ALL my votes

3 'lifts' 2moro....well, hopefully

Think I'll hide behind the settee and cross my fingers for them!!

Well it will be a spectacle at least - the question is what sort?

Unlikely
Certainly not based on his current form.

I might even vote for Ed just to pay back TPTB for their ridiculous attempts at manipulation this, and in previous years.
Haven't voted this year (or any other year except last year) but it'd be worth it to see the smug smiles wiped off their faces (again - after last years failure to influence the voters failed miserably)

Agree - but I wouldn't vote for him if he makes the final - I always prefer to see good dancers. Having said that, I would rather he gets it than Ore.

You know, I was going to say he wasn't going to get into the final, but considering Brexit and Trump, I really should stop overestimating the voting public.

*SHRUG*

And no, I won't vote for him if he makes it to the final. Hell, I'm not voting for him now.

His Halloween dance is my favourite of this series so yes, if Katya choreographs some great dances and Ed dances his best, I may very well vote for him.

I would also very likely vote for JR.

yes, I will vote for Ed and trigger Strictlygeddon

If he repeats tonights dance he would get my votes. The rest are boring me to tears this year

his chachacha and tonight's gangnam 'salsa' were the classics of the series for me.
Danny mac did a great AT...but like louise...he would, wouldn't he...

Yes I blinking well will............unless he is up against the Judge

After his Salsa?? Yup!

You took the words right out of my mouth! I like Ed and he is entertaining which is what makes me support him. He seems to be really having a good time and his enthusiasm is infectious. He gets my votes.

The judges will vote him off if he is in the last four. That is the stage at which they are finally able to get rid of an act that they don't want to carry through.

He is entertaining, but I couldn't actually watch him this week - although the lifts were great, and also his acting ability.

He'd make a great Pantomime Dame.
