It would seem Ruth Davidson's come down with a serious case of Strictly fever.

The Scottish Tory leader's made no secret that she's a fan of the Saturday night dancing show, even going to far as to cheer on a political rival, the former Labour MP Ed Balls.

Now she's stepping out herself and training for a charity version show which takes place at Dundas Castle on Thursday.

The event's being held to raise money for Queensferry Care, the Dalmeny Kirk and the RNLI.

She says her enthusiasm will make up for the lack of talent.

"I have got a wedding coming up and I need to start taking dance lessons for my wedding dance.

"I've got a crazy diary so I've been trying to fit dance lessons in among everything else I do.

"I've had to learn a French Jive, which is really fast and furious, but I'm trying my best.
