On Saturday night it was revealed Layton would be dancing in the competition with professional Nikita Kuzmin.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> The duo addressed backlash over the Billy Elliot actor\u2019s performance background while being interviewed by show host Claudia Winkleman.<\/p>\n Nikita said: “Ballroom and Latin are completely different to anything Layton has done so far, the technique, posture and especially coordination are completely different, he has a lot to learn and I can\u2019t wait to teach him.”<\/p>\n Layton also had his say about the pairing, adding: “He is going to whip me into shape and keep me on the straight and narrow because I do like to think I know what I am doing and do the most, but I really don\u2019t have a clue!”<\/p>\n As the show aired, some viewers once again suggested he had “an unfair advantage”, while many fans of the show and actor Layton were quick to hit back at this, once again pointing out he is not trained in the dances he will be learning on the show.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
