Controversial X-Factor contestant Honey G has challenged her Strictly Come Dancing’s Ed Balls to a dance-off.
The contestants are both considered to be the novelty acts of their respective television competitions.
Balls, a former MP, appeared to diss the controversial rapper this week when he admitted he did not know what to say about her.
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 Craig (Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood) would say, 'OMG!'”
“All I will say is that I think I am getting better,” he told the Daily Star.
On last night’s episode of the singing contest however, Honey G hit back at the dancing star when she said, “I'd like to challenge Ed Balls to a dance-off, challenge me any day.”
“He knows where I am,” she said.
She made the comments to show host Dermot O'Leary following her performance of Will Smith's Gettin' Jiggy Wit It and Jason Nevins' It's Like That for the programme's movie week theme.
“Honey G Being in the last six is just great, I just can't believe I'm here,” she said ahead of her performance last night.
“The finish line is in touching distance right now, and I've always been a good sprinter.”
“I'm not going to be doing any Honey G ad libs, I want to show that I'm a really good rapper,” she added.
Judge and show boss Simon Cowell once again spoke highly of the rapper, saying “A lot of people have called me this week and said, 'Are you judging her based on talent, surely this isn't someone you like?'
“Here's the truth, I love you - I don't know why, you are infectious.”
“Are you the best singer I've ever heard, no. Do I look forward to you coming back, yes. So it's time to rip up the rule book.”
The X Factor continues tonight at 8pm with this week’s results.
