Former shadow chancellor and Labour MP Ed Balls has become quite the hit on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Ed ‘Glitter’ Balls and dance partner Katya Jones performed the cowboy themed Charleston to a backing of banjos on last week’s edition, and were more than happy to show 5 live Breakfast’s Rachel Burden how to master the dance.

Various people from the political world have shown support to Balls, including George Osborne, Michael Gove, and even Prime Minister Theresa May.

This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Tuesday 4 October 2016.
