Strictly star Layton Williams has delighted fans after revealing his mystery boyfriend on social media.
The West End star is one of many famous faces in this year’s series of the glitzy BBC One show. Partnered up with Nikita Kuzmin, the pair have marked themselves as strong contenders to bag this year’s Glitterball trophy.
And it seems Layton’s personal life away from the dance floor is going just as well. On Tuesday (November 28) Layton took to his Instagram to pay tribute to his mystery beau.

Fans went wild in the comments section, and gushed over their relationship. One person said: “Aw you both look so happy and relaxed together. Happy Birthday!.”
Someone else proclaimed: “Aww how lovely launch”. A third gushed: “This has made my heart melt! Love seeing you so happy. Couldn’t be happier for you babes.”
It comes after Layton and Angela Scanlon battled it out to avoid taking the bottom spot in the dreaded dance-off. Both couples performed their routines again in the hope of staying in the competition for another week.

Layton and dance partner Nikita Kuzmin once again danced their American Smooth to ‘It’s Oh So Quiet’ by Björk. Angela and dance partner Carlos Gu repeated a performance of their Cha Cha to ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor.
Despite both couples dancing their socks off, there could only be one winner. Craig Revel Horwood delivered the first verdict, voting in favour of Layton and Nikita.
Craig explained his decision: “Technically for me personally, the better dance of the night, and the dance I actually enjoyed the most, was Layton and Nikita.”

Motsi Mabuse also chose to vote for Layton and Nikita to be saved. The South-African dancer said, “Well this was certainly a tough, tough dance-off. I based my decision on musicality and balance and that is why I will be saving Nikita and Layton.”
Anton Du Beke’s decision to save Layton meant the West End star’s position in the dance competition was firmly locked in for the next week. The legendary dancer explained, “Well I thought that was quite a tense dance off, I don’t think either couple danced as well as they can.
“It was the closest dance-off we’ve had in the series so far. This is the only thing, I saw an error from one of the couples, so I’m going to vote to keep into the quarter-finals, Layton and Nikita.”

This left Angela Scanlon as the ninth celebrity to be eliminated from series 21 of Strictly Come Dancing. However, head judge and Queen of Latin, Shirley Ballas, disagreed with the ruling.
The 63-year-old admitted that she would have voted to save Angela and Carlos. Shirley said, “Well important for me always when it comes to Ballroom and Latin is the character of the dance, that it’s true to the dance, timing and quality and I would have voted for Angela and Carlos.”
