Scottish Conservatives leader Ruth Davidson has urged the BBC to invite her to compete on Strictly Come Dancing next year.

Ms Davidson said she is jealous of former shadow chancellor Ed Balls’s efforts in the dance competition this year and declared: “I want a bit of that action.”

At the weekend, Mr Balls was praised for his second dance, a Charleston which earned him a standing ovation from the Strictly audience

Ms Davidson told Sky News: “I have to say I have been totally team Balls on Strictly Come Balls... Strictly Come Dancing.

“I think he’s doing a tremendous job and I’m just jealous.

“So if anybody from the BBC is watching, sign me up for next year, because he’s making it look brilliant. I want a bit of that action.”
