StrictlyComeDancing contestant Layton Williams' life off screen including Billy Elliot role
and luckily for the 28 year old, he already has some experience when it comes to dancing.
Layton is best known for his role in BBC Three's sitcom Bad Education alongside Jack Whitehall and, when he was just 12 years old, he played the lead role in Billy Elliott the Musical on London's West End - becoming the first black actor to do so. He's shot to fame having secured an impressive number of roles in TV and theatre - he even secured a second scholarship so he could finish high school.
