Strictly Come Dancing star Ed Balls planning to break the Internet with a spectacular Great Balls of Fire routine this weekend after his Gangnam Style dance became a web sensation
The former MP left the judges speechless with his Gangnam Style routine last week
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Ed Balls is planning to break the internet this weekend with a spectacular routine to the Jerry Lee Lewis hit Great Balls Of Fire.
His hair raising performance comes after he and his professional dance partner Katya Jones left the judges speechless with his salsa routine to Psy's Gangnam Style last weekend.
The former MP is planning to blow the judges and his fellow contestants out of the water with the eye-catching routine.
Speaking on Strictly Come Dancing's spin-off It Takes Two, Balls revealed he is a trained pianist and will be lowered down onto the stage while playing a piano at the start of his jive performance to the Jerry Lee Lewis hit.
A source told The Mirror: "This will be Balls at his greatest. Ed captivated the nation with his Gangnam Style routine last weekend, but this performance will outdo everything he has done before.
"There will be impressive pyro as well as the stunt at the beginning – and that’s before Ed has even taken to the stage.”
Ed sailed through to this week's show which will be held at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
His wife, Labour MP Yvette Cooper, 49, said she was very proud of her husband saying: "Blackpool is like his Wembley so I think getting to Blackpool itself is a triumph.”

However, she isn't keen to let Ed try and do any lifts on her after he previously nearly dropped Katya.
She said: "Katya is very brave and considerably lighter than I am as well. It’s fantastic that Katya is doing that but not for me.”
Ed's salsa to Gangnam has already been watched 3 million times on Facebook and it remains to be seen if his Great Balls of Fire routine will top it.
