Layton Williams has been dominating Strictly Come Dancing with his pro dancer partner Nikita Kuzmin with the duo securing a near-perfect score following their vibrant salsa
Strictly Come Dancing star Layton Williams has hit back at claims he has an "unfair advantage" on the BBC show.
Just last week the former West End star was top of the leaderboard after scoring a whopping 39 points for his salsa with Nikita to Quimbara by Johnny Pacheco and Celia Cruz. A clip of their vibrant and energetic performance was posted to the official Strictly Instagram account which saw viewers quick to share their opinions."As Layton has danced in the West end why is he on this show", a second commented.But many rushed to defend Layton and his Strictly journey.
Speaking to HELLO he said: "He is a fully trained, professional dancer. When they came out, you had essentially two professional dancers next to each other.Former Strictly professional dancer Brendon Cole also got involved in the debate after Coronation Street star Ellie Leach finished in second place behind Layton during Saturday's live show. He told Sky Bingo: "I don’t think you can compare Ellie and Layton, one is a professional performer and one is learning to dance.
