Layton Williams has shared a touching post following the Strictly Come Dancing final where he narrowly missed out on winning the series alongside partner Nikita Kuzmin.
BBC viewers have since raged that the West End star was 'robbed' from winning the glitterball trophy after it was announced Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were voted the 2023 series winners.
Layton shared a black and white snap of him and partner Nikita hugging backstage on the BBC dancing show on his Instagram page, the Mirror reports.
He was soon flooded with comments from fans, some of which echoed the fact they felt the pair were 'robbed' of the iconic trophy following a string of high-scoring routines.
One fan wrote: "That’s the prize right there. congratulations guys on the most amazing partnership ever on Strictly. It really was so inspiring to witness the art you made together each week."
A second penned: "Will miss seeing you guys slay the house down every week! you’ve brought so much joy and pride to so many people! you should be so proud of yourselves."
"What a gorgeous friendship you guys have - loved every single dance! x," a third quipped as a fourth said: "I could watch you two every day for the rest of my life and never get bored. Please keep dancing together".
Someone else added: "You guys might have not won the glitterball but you definitely captivated the nation week after week with phenomenal dances that strictly and fans will never forget."
