Strictly Come Dancing star Ed Balls has been trying to lure Lord Sugar into a dance-off for a while but now things are spiralling out of control.
Hey @Lord_Sugar, my offer for us to do a dance-off together still stands - you choose the dance - are you up for it? (No lifts !) https://t.co/xf3AMoFl7B

But Lord Sugar just isn’t playing ball.
Ed I cant dance and mate neither can you . There is no point diverting the fact you have as much rhythm as a 3 leg horse by challenging me. https://t.co/bNekFQsA76

So you're running scared @Lord_Sugar - all mouth and no Quick Step? I bet I can do a better Cha Cha-style 'New York' than you .... https://t.co/bb3p7H19Q1

But Lord Sugar has given us an idea of what we are missing out on. These look like moves both men can only dream about.

But what Ed posted next, we cannot un-see.

Even Ed’s wife knows this is not going anywhere good.
I fear this will end in tears. https://t.co/lH7o2gdCyC

But while Ed lures Lord Sugar into an alarming routine, his fellow contestants are battling their latest dances.
After a tough few weeks, Greg Rutherford is madly in love with his waltz.
Never did I expect the Viennese Waltz to take so much out of me. It's a bloody epic dance! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. @RealNatalieLowe #scd

Laura Whitmore’s hard work on her samba has turned her against her dancing shoes.
Attempted to wear Latin shoes for the first time in two weeks. Never thought high heels would become my enemy. We used to be so in love.. 💔

Meanwhile, Daisy Lowe is spinning like a dervish for her waltz.
