The X Factor’s rapping sensation Honey G just challenged Ed Balls to a dance off.

The ‘North Weezy’ rapper – aka Anna Georgette Gilford – proposed a dance battle with the Strictly Come Dancing star.

Speaking after her performance in the competition’s movie week, Honey G said: “I’d like to challenge Ed Balls to a dance off. Challenge me any day.

“He knows where I am!”

G performed a medley of Will Smith’s Getting Jiggy With It and Run DMC classic It’s Like That.

The challenge comes after Balls was asked about his thoughts on Honey G during an interview.

Speaking to the Daily Star earlier in the week, Balls said: “I’m definitely aware of Honey G. I’ve seen a couple of YouTube videos.

“I am not sure what to say! As [Strictly judge] Craig [Revel Horwood] would say: ‘OMG!’ All I will say is that I think I am getting better.”

Simon Cowell declared that he ‘loves’ the rapper, describing her as ‘infectious’.

“A lot of people have called me this week and said, are you judging her based on talent? Surely this isn’t something you like?” he said.

“Maybe it’s time for a reality check, here’s the truth: I love you. I can’t not. I don’t know why. It’s just that you are infectious.

“Every time you put on a show, is it the best thing I’ve ever heard? No. Do I look forward to you coming back? Yes.”

Nicole Scherzinger praised Honey G’s “commitment and energy”, while Louis told her: “You still deserve to be in the competition.”

In this week’s Strictly Come Dancing, Ed Balls took to the Blackpool Tower ballroom on a flaming piano for a routine set to Great Balls of Fire.
