If you thought you had seen everything from Ed Balls on Strictly Come Dancing, think again.
While performing the American Smooth to (Is This The Way To) Amarillo by Tony Christie he picked up partner Katya Jones for a lift so precarious viewers had their hands over their eyes.
It seemed a very real possibility Katya would end up in a heap on the floor.
Some viewers were particularly concerned by his hand placement.
The judges did not reward him for his efforts, scoring a meagre 18 with just a two from Craig Revel Horwood.
