Strictly Come Dancing: Nikita and Layton ‘break record’<\/h3>\n

Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly’s presenter husband Vernon Kay has revealed his unlikely connection to “brilliant” show contestant Layton Williams.<\/p>\n

Layton, 29, and his professional dance partner Nikita Kuzmin have been wowing BBC viewers with their routines on this year’s series.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Radio Times, when Vernon, 49, was asked who he thought would win Strictly this year, he threw Layton in the mix and revealed their past association with each other.<\/p>\n

“Ellie Leach is terrific and I love watching Krishnan Guru-Murthy, but it\u2019s got to be Bobby Brazier,” he began. <\/span><\/p>\n

“He\u2019s like a cross between Harry Styles and Mick Jagger. Handsome fella. I\u2019m <\/span>thrilled for him and his dad, Jeff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s done a brilliant job with the boys and should be proud as Punch.”<\/p>\n

The BBC Radio host continued: “And Layton Williams is brilliant. Years ago, when he was a teenager, we did ballet together on The Paul O\u2019Grady Show. He learnt it all from me, obviously!”<\/p>\n

Layton has consistently dazzled the judges with his dancing, and while he has topped the leaderboard, his scores have generally been lower than expected, which he believes is due to him being penalised due to West End history.<\/p>\n

Layton, who is best known for playing Stephen Carmichael in the BBC series Bad Education, first shot to fame when he appeared in the West End theatre production of Billy Elliot.<\/p>\n
