Strictly: Layton Williams announces he’s joined the cast of 2023<\/h3>\n

Layton Williams stated he would not shed a tear if he had to bow out early of Strictly Come Dancing, as it would have no effect on him being paid for his participation.<\/p>\n

It comes as the Billy Elliot star shared he was ready to \u201cboogie to the gayest tunes\u201d prompting a fiery Twitter user to question this decision.<\/p>\n

Layton retweeted an article by Pink News in view of his 46,000 followers that read: \u201cLayton Williams says he is ready to boogie to the \u2018gayest\u2019 tunes on this year\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing – \u2018Just queen after queen after queen\u2019.<\/p>\n

In response, one person typed: \u201cAnd when he gets voted out he’ll cry saying it’s homophobia that made him get voted out.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the Bad Education star immediately shot them down, as he hit back: \u201cWon’t cry coz I still get paid tehe.\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n

Theatre actor, singer and dancer Layton is best known for his starring roles in several acclaimed West End productions, including Billy Elliot and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.<\/p>\n

In a new interview, Layton told Digital Spy: \u201cIt is the gayest, most girl pop group playlist you\u2019ve ever heard in your life. Just Queen, after Queen, after Queen and icons \u2014 hopefully, they pick a couple of the songs I have chosen.<\/p>\n

“But also, I do trust they know what they\u2019re doing when it comes to the decisions. The producers, the team, they know what\u2019s going to entertain. So I\u2019m ready to go along for the ride.”<\/p>\n

It comes as Layton, who is set to be paired with a man on Strictly, will wear unisex outfits while appearing on the show.<\/p>\n

Sources have said BBC bosses are delighted over the news that the Bad Education star will be challenging gender stereotypes in his performances.<\/p>\n

One said: \u201cLayton made it clear very early on that he didn\u2019t want to be pinned down to just wearing male costumes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wanted his Strictly outfits to reflect different sides of his personality and everyone fully supports him on that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo he will have a chance to wear Strictly dresses, as well as the men\u2019s sharp suits, when he performs. There are some really exciting looks in there. Layton can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n

Layton told last year how taking on the lead role in Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie helped him embrace his love of glamour.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI was looking at pictures of myself on the red carpet from the Jamie movie premiere and I thought, \u2018Hmm, would I, as Layton, have felt comfortable wearing a gown to a premiere if I hadn\u2019t explored my sense of self?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always \u00adwanted to rock the heels, the gowns, the dress\u2026 and now I just love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
