Ed Balls announces 'wild' performance on Strictly

The former Labour MP is attempting a Latin routine this weekend and it sounds like it's going to be a complete change of pace from the Waltz he scored 21 points for.

"The energy, the intensity, it's really hard. A bit wild," he revealed on It Takes Two tonight.

"To do it well, you've got to be disciplined. We'll have surprises."

His partner Katya Jones added: "It's so different to Waltz. He's got such a nice personality that's going to come through."

How will the couple fare this weekend?

Katya went on: "People don't see the whole process from day one until the performance,e and the man who walked into the dance studio and the man who danced with me on Saturday were two different people.
