A Romanian politician has sparked controversy and criticism after showing off his dance moves on a national television show.

Edmond Talmacean entertained the other guests on the programme by dancing to a Michael Jackson track.

But Prime Minister Emil Boc has said the routine was more suited to showbusiness than politics, and Tourism and Regional Development Minister, Elena Udrea, has said she thinks Talmacean should keep a low profile for a while.
