GOOD Morning Britain star Ed Balls has formed an unlikely partnership with ITV stablemate Robert Peston.<\/p>\n
The politically savvy duo have formed a band named Centrist Dad and made their live debut at York Rise, North London, last weekend.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Ex Labour cabinet minister Ed and journalist Robert covered the Sex Pistols during their set, pulling off a raucous rendition of Anarchy in the UKin front of a receptive audience. <\/p>\n
Peston, 63, took on frontman duties prowling around like a more mild-mannered John Lydon, while Ed, 56, bashed the drums in the background.<\/p>\n
Rounding off the quartet were Radio<\/span> 4 host John Wilson on bass and Chris Taylor<\/span> on guitar.<\/p>\n Taking to the stage at 3pm, the band also played classic tracks Teenage Kicks by The Undertones and One Way or Another by Blondie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the aftermath, Ed wrote on Instagram: "Humour us. We had fun."<\/p>\n Former Labour leader Ed Miliband and current leader Sir Keir Starmer certainly did and were spotted bopping around to the group in the audience.<\/p>\n The event's website states: "The York Rise Street party is an annual neighbourhood get together with music, cinema, art, theatre, more music, food, drink, green street, activities, stalls, talks and lots more."<\/p>\n Ed touched on the performance on Monday's Good Morning Britain, telling co-host Susanna Reid that \u201cdads are supposed to be embarrassing."<\/p>\n <\/picture>NEXT ACT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>‘MILESTONE’ <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TUCK IN <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>GRANT DESIGNS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The ex Shadow Chancellor went on to say that his three children – Joe, Maddy and Ellie – weren't left too red-faced by it.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cActually, their view was, it wasn\u2019t as embarrassing as they expected. They think the name \u2018Centrist Dad\u2019 is terrible; appalling! My son said, \u2018Owen Jones will hate it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nREAD MORE ON ED BALLS<\/span><\/h2>\n
