Strictly Come Dancing star Layton Williams has hit back at claims he has an "unfair advantage" on the BBC show. Layton, 29 has been dominating the Strictly scoreboard with his natural rhythm and almost faultless frame which scored him four nines in just the second week. His compatibility with professional dance partner Nikita Kuzmin has also been applauded by the judges with Craig Revel Horwood labelling Layton's talent as "ridiculous".
Just last week (Saturday, 21 October) 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. One wrote: "Sorry, but he’s far to professional to be on the show." "As Layton has danced in the West end why is he on this show", a second commented.
While a third said: "Too professional shouldn't be in it its not fair." But many rushed to defend Layton and his Strictly journey. One fan wrote: "Imagine not wanting to watch good dancing on a dancing show. Couldn't be me.
Layton and Nikita are absolute fire to watch. Most Inspired pairing for years!!! My winners." A second added: "Everyone forgets that Denise Van Outen, Debbie McGee, Ashley Roberts (and far more) have been trained dancers, or have had west end careers. Be kind." "Angela rippon also has a dance background.....
where is her backlash", penned a third. One other fan said: "All the people in the comments helping to ruin his Strictly experience is really sad to see." Which saw Layton respond: "Literally. Like, relax.
