I think it was a really gracious farewell. Thank you Ed and Katya.

For all of Ed's technical weaknesses and dance limitations the admiration I have for him is immense.
He fully committed himself to both the spirit and performance of every dance. And entertainment value wise he imo is the best there has ever been on SCD. He and Katya tried their utmost to execute as much content as possible. Ok so it was not the height of technical mastery but he fully engaged in every style of dance required of him. He took the process seriously but also had a laugh and a lot of fun at the same time. For me he struck the perfect balance. From a dance technique point of view he could have gone out weeks ago but he defied exit through capturing the spirit of every dance in a remarkable fashion. Of all the 'entertainer' type celebs to have competed I would say Ed is the one I have appreciated the most. His dignity in exit is superceded only by his honesty of endeavour and I thank him for that. He should absolutely walk away with his head held high. Well done Sir. |

Ditto! I had a tear in my eye at the end. What a nice man Ed is.
I hope he'll go on the Strictly Tour.

At least this way the Judge might stay in and upset the apple cart for the "chosen ones" |

I actually thought Ed and Katya were better than Judge Rinder and Oksana in the DO but Ed was a gonna regardless.
I shed a tear on their leaving. Well done to the pair of them. |

I think the end of the show was the most genuine moment on tv for some time - the joy they had at dancing (even if he wasn't that great at it), the real respect Ed and Katya had for each other and the realisation that they weren't going to dance together again, and the affection that the other contestants obviously had for him.
If anyone had told me I would have had a lump in my throat at Ed Balls leaving Strictly even half and hour ago I would have laughed at them ![]() Just goes to show the best moments can't be scripted - even in reality tv, real emotion will win every time! Quote:

Oh dear, next week they won't be there.

Which makes a mockery of the dance off and qualifies what Darcey said to Chris Evans then, if he really was better than Rob.
However, I've had some proper laugh out loud moments with Ed and Katya, they were good tv. |

I loved watching Ed and Katya. He brought something to SCD - I'm not sure what it was
but it was great. His timing was always good too.

I didn't watch the show tonight but did look at the last few minutes. Very touching and what a lovely reaction they both got. It was their time to go, but it's sad. (And I never thought I would have liked Ed!).

Nevertheless I think he's the best "worst dancer" Strictly have had. I've not enjoyed his performances as much as others clearly have, but he's worked hard and done his very best and should be respected for that. |

I loved Ed's effort and improvement. He was a joy to watch. He wasn't the standard of the others but from a starting point, his improvement was amazing.
I bet Kat was gutted when she got Ed and must have thought her first Strictly would end at the first opportunity but she worked hard on him and he embraced it. Thank you Ed and Katya, you were true Strictly stars this year! |

I loved the quickstep and the charleston:
