‘Strictly Come Dancing’: Ed Balls Could Be About To Sign Up For The 2017 Live Tour

Ed Balls may have been eliminated from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ at the weekend, but there’s a chance he’s not leaving the sequins and shimmying behind just yet.

The former politician has been a huge hit with fans on the show, and according to reports, he is super-close to agreeing a deal to take part in the 2017 ‘Strictly’ live tour.

Quite frankly, this needs to happen.

A source explained to The Sun: “Ed wants to be on the tour and is currently negotiating his price. He has loved his Strictly experience and would like it to continue.

“He’s entertained the nation with his routines and played along with it.

“Everyone’s seen a different side to him and he’s gone from getting no votes as a politician to the nation backing him week after week.

“Ed’s looking at his diary because he also has lecture commitments and other work to do, but everyone’s hopeful he will sign up.”

So far, Danny Mac, Daisy Lowe and Louise Redknapp have all been confirmed for the tour, which kicks off in January.

Meanwhile on BBC1, the competition is heating up and Ed’s exit leaves just five celebrities in the competition.
