Strictly’s Layton Williams forced to deny ‘fix’ claims before series starts

The Bad Education actor has spoken out over claims and accusations that he has an ‘unfair advantage’ over other contestants for the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing

Strictly Come Dancing 2023 star Layton Williams has been forced to firmly shut down claims of a ‘fix’ and accusations that he has an ‘unfair advantage’ over other Strictly stars.

Layton comes from a performing background, which many Strictly fans have questioned as they believe he could have ‘studied’ dance giving him an edge over his fellow contestants before they battle it out on the dancefloor. However, the TV star has now spoken out firmly on social media as he blasted speculation from Twitter users who debated whether he would have studied Latin or Ballroom dance during his performing career.

Layton, who has performed in the musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, responded to a tweet which read: “Not a dance expert as such but I am a dancer and know for a fact he will have studied ballroom and/or Latin to some degree”. In response, Layton wasted no time clarifying as he replied: “Lemme clear up this *fact* real quick. I had my 1st introduction to Ballroom & Latin class in rehearsals yesterday (along with the rest of the @bbcstrictly cast) and it was so much fun xxx”.

A troll then waded in to respond as it wrote: “Here’s hoping you get dumped out week one.” A sassy Layton then firmly shut down the nasty tweet as he sweetly replied: “No one gets voted out week 1 luckily.” During his performing career, Layton has performed in musicals and productions including playing the lead in Billy Elliot at the age of just 12 before going on to star in other stage productions including Hairspray and Rent.
