Strictly Come Dancing 2016: Craig Revel Horwood wants Ed Balls 'COMMITTED' after Tango
CRAIG REVEL HORWOOD joked that he thinks Ed Balls should be "committed" for psychiatric care after his ill-received Tango routine on Strictly Come Dancing this evening.
Ed Balls wows in spectacularly flamboyant Tango
The Labour favourite, 49, performed with Katya Jones in a Zoolander-inspired performance that left the judging panel struggling for positives.
After slating much of his physicality, Craig said that at least he was "committed - and after that, you should be."
Darcey Bussell added: "You lost focus and that was a shame. It's weird because the stalking moments got a bit bouncy.
"You've got to soften those knees and get those shoulders down."

"I love how much fun @edballs having on #Strictly he genuinely looks like he's having such a good time," beamed a third.
Someone else enthused: "I'm in stitches Ed Balls, thank you #strictly."

Only five couples will go through to next week's Quarter Finals, making Ed's competition stiffer than ever.
Even Darcey said in a radio chat this week that she would vote the former MP out.
