Ed Balls for Celebrity Big Brother?

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Balls has been tipped to appear on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 49-year-old politician was only booted off ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ on Sunday (27.11.16) and is now odds on favourite at the bookmakers to join the Channel 5 show, which is due back on screens in January 2017.
According to The Sun newspaper, Coral have 10-1 on Ed appearing on the next series.
Meanwhile, the ballroom and Latin’s show’s judge Bruno Tonioli has said he’d love to see Ed star on the West End in a musical with controversial ‘X Factor’ rapper Honey G, who was also eliminated from the ITV show at the weekend.
The 61-year-old dance enthusiast thinks it would be like a scene from 1979 American war film ‘Apocalypse Now’.
Talking about Honey G – whose real name is Anna Georgette Gilford – requesting a dance-off with Ed in his column for Best magazine, he joked: “How hilarious that Honey G challenged Ed to a dance-off.
“Is she the best singer on ‘The X Factor? Absolutely not! But they’re both great fun.
“Gosh, imagine if they starred in a West End show together, it’d be like the ‘Apocalypse Now’ – they’d cause a revolution.”
Offering a dance battle, Honey G previously said: “I’d like to challenge Ed Balls to a dance off. Challenge me any day. He knows where I am!”
However, Ed was hesitant to accept the offer.
He later responded: “I’ve spent 10 weeks trying to avoid the dance-off – and so far I have.
“Look, the [Strictly] judges are pretty tough on me, so if I’m in a dance off then I’m out.
“I’m afraid, my answer is that I’m trying to avoid dance-offs at the moment.”
