Strictly's Ed Balls: 'I'm pleased to have gotten this far'
He's a favourite with the public on this year's Strictly Come Dancing and Ed Balls has revealed he's thrilled to have gotten so far in the competition.
The former politician, who is paired with dancer Katya on the series, shrugged off talk of tensions on the show following the departure of singer Will Young.
"The reality is that it's very close-knit and people are very supportive," Ed insisted.
Ed, who entered studio by spinning Susanna Reid around, added he's under no illusions about winning, but he would like to stay on the series for a little longer.
"I'm not going to get to the end but I could get to Blackpool and that's what I'm aiming for" he said.
