Layton Williams on Strictly being fun<\/h3>\n

Strictly Come Dancing star Layton Williams confirmed the BBC is open to inviting a trans celebrity to take part in a future series.<\/p>\n

The actor is currently impressing the judges each week on the BBC competition alongside his partner Nikita Kuzmin, and is about to enter his third live show.<\/p>\n

Last week, the 29-year-old wore a skirt during his Viennese Waltz, receiving praise from fans.<\/p>\n

He has previously talked about how much it means to be able to be in a same-sex couple, and speaking to Metro, added that the broadcaster would welcome a trans contestant.<\/p>\n

When asked if there could be a chance, he told the publication: “That would be beautiful.<\/p>\n

“I think producers are open to all beautiful people from all walks and that would be superb.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nikita said he’d always wanted to be in a same-sex painting following the success of Johannes Radebe and John Whaite two years ago.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve always wanted to do on the show, ever since I saw John and Johannes,” he stated.<\/p>\n

“They were absolutely fabulous, an iconic partnership.”<\/p>\n

Bad Educaiton star Layton has also recently hit back at homophobic trolls.<\/p>\n

He told the Liverpool ECHO: “What you see on the show is what life is like for me off the show.<\/p>\n

“I would never do something I\u2019m not comfortable with just for the sake of it.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not here to win the hearts of bigots but what I am here to do is to clap back if they have something to say.<\/p>\n

“There have always been homophobes and there have always been racists, but I will get the last laugh.<\/p>\n

“I just want to be a beacon of hope and light for younger people watching.”<\/p>\n

The actor also delved into how partner Nikita is “pushing him” during rehearsals.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Alan Carr on the podcast Life’s a Beach, Layton explained how exhausting the competition has been so far.<\/p>\n

He admitted: “I did not think it would be as hard as it was. My partner is pushing me.”<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One.<\/strong><\/p>\n
