WELL, this last weekend we saw Ed the Carthorse trying proper dancing and some amazing performances from others vying for the Strictly Come Dancing glitterball.

The smart money has got to be on sports broadcaster Ore Oduba, former girlband singer Louise Redknapp, Olympic long-jumper Greg Rutherford and Hollyoaks actor Danny Mac.

Danny Mac was stunning. Louise Redknapp the most engaging, Judge (Robert) Rinder the most deliciously manic and EastEnders actress Tameka Empson probably the funniest.

Sorry, Ed, but it’s you, actress Lesley Joseph or possibly singer Anastasia to be among the first go to. That’s just the cha-cha-challenge of dance.
