Katya Jones admits Strictly partner Ed Balls has found his ‘inner camp’ on the dance show
STRICTLY Come Dancing's Katya Jones has revealed that her celebrity partner Ed Balls has discovered his "inner camp" on the dance show.
The professional dancer opened up about the popular contestant as she admitted that his lack of gracefulness has been the biggest challenge for the pair so far on the dancefloor.
Speaking to the Katya explained: "Ed is the first to admit he is quite camp.
"We’ve discovered his inner camp is coming out through this process, so anything that is masculine like the paso doble he does in a totally camp way. He can’t do manly or strong."
Despite his initial dancing struggles, The Sun revealed that Ed topped the Strictly Come Dancing viewer vote last week.
The former politician's flailing footwork and dodgy dance moves has seen him regularly land at the bottom of the judges’ score leaderboard for the last seven weeks.
However a source told how a well placed individual at the BBC had let slip that Ed and Katya was currently polling ahead of his ballroom rivals.
“They said they knew he’d get support as traditionally they’ve always loved a novelty act but this was surprising everyone.
“If it continues he’ll be staying out of the dance-off for a while - and probably at the expense of celebrities with a much higher standard of dancing.”
Despite this, the ex-shadow Chancellor is as popular with the viewers as Glitterball Trophy favourites Danny Mac and Ore Oduba.
