Layton Williams has broken his silence after he missed out on winning\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing\u00a02023 during Saturday’s live final.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actor, 29, and his partner\u00a0Nikita Kumzin as well as fellow finalists\u00a0Bobby Brazier and\u00a0Dianne Buswell, were beaten out by\u00a0Ellie Leach\u00a0and Vito Coppola.<\/p>\n

However, Layton and Nikita still impressed throughout the competition, topping the leaderboard in the final with an almost perfect score and inspiring other young boys to dance.<\/p>\n

After enjoying the raucous Strictly afterparty, Layton took to his Instagram for the first time since the final on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He shared a sweet post from a devastated fan, who was saddened that Layton had not been crowned the champion, but praised him and Nikita for their impact.<\/p>\n

Layton Williams has broken his silence after he missed out on winning Strictly Come Dancing 2023 during Saturday’s live final<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The actor, 29, and his partner Nikita Kumzin as well as fellow finalists Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell , were beaten out by Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Layton and Nikita still impressed throughout the competition, topping the leaderboard in the final with an almost perfect score and inspiring other young boys to dance<\/p>\n

They posted a photo of their son wearing a glittery blue dress and wrote: ‘A lot of heart break in our house today over the @bbcstrictly result.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘@laytonwilliams @nikita_kuzmin thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing him that being fully, fabulously, unapologetically himself is to be celebrated.’<\/p>\n

Layton reposted the moving message and commented a heart and an emoji holding back tears of emotion.<\/p>\n

He also then took a photo from his bubble bath, holding up a cup of tea as he wrote: ‘Aaaaannnd… Relax.’<\/p>\n

It comes after\u00a0viewers have insisted that Layton was the ‘real winner’ of the show and was ‘robbed’ in the final.<\/p>\n

While many were delighted that Ellie, 22, secured the win, several suggested that ‘the most talented contestant ever’ lost out on lifting the Glitterball.<\/p>\n

Fans claimed that Layton should have won the competition, arguing that he consistently scored higher and topped the leaderboard with 119 points,\u00a0just one off a perfect score.<\/p>\n

However, during the final the judges’ votes don’t count for anything unlike the rest of the series, so the winner is entirely down to the public vote.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Layton took to his Instagram to share a sweet post from a devastated fan, who was saddened that Layton had not been crowned the champion, but praised him and Nikita for their impact<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also then took a photo from his bubble bath, holding up a cup of tea as he wrote: ‘Aaaaannnd… Relax’<\/p>\n

Reacting to the news on social media after the results, one person said: ‘Ellie is a deserving winner but my god Layton was robbed. Possibly the most talent contestant that Strictly has EVER had.’<\/p>\n

Another person agreed, and said: ‘Great final and I have nothing against Ellie and Vito but Layton and Nikita were robbed. Such a shame..’<\/p>\n

One other said: ‘Layton was robbed. Haven’t been this livid since Faye from Steps was robbed. This is why you can’t trust the British public to vote.’<\/p>\n

Another said there was reason behind it, after Layton suffered homophobic trolling during the series, writing: ‘Layton was robbed of the trophy. Just shows homophobia is alive and kicking in the UK!! Why am I NOT surprised…’<\/p>\n

One other said: ‘Layton was robbed! A true star (as he has been since Beautiful People tbh).’<\/p>\n

Another said: ‘Layton and Nikita were ROBBED. They’re the real winners and danced the best tonight. Rigged rigged rigged.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

A different person, wrote: ‘Although Ellie and Vito were great, you were robbed Layton. We’ve watched you ever since Beautiful People. What are star you are.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another person referenced Ellie’s slip up, writing: ‘Layton and Nikita getting robbed of the Strictly Glitterball when Ellie messed up one of her lifts and still won, disappointing.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It comes after viewers have insisted that Layton was the ‘real winner’ of the show and was ‘robbed’ in the final\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several suggested that ‘the most talented contestant ever’ lost out on lifting the Glitterball, arguing that he scored higher and topped the leaderboard with 119 points in the final<\/p>\n

However it’s not all disappointment for Layton, after it was claimed and and Bobby are at the centre of a TV battle over tell-all documentaries, according to reports.<\/p>\n

They have both apparently been approached by production bosses to make documentaries about the struggles they have faced in their lives.<\/p>\n

Despite losing out on the Glitterball trophy,\u00a0the future still looks bright for the runners-up who are set to be signed for big money deals.<\/p>\n

According to The Mirror, independent production companies who make films for broadcasters including the BBC, want to sign them both in the wake of the show.<\/p>\n

The publication have said that Bobby, 20, has been approached for a documentary exploring parental loss, after the tragic death of his mother Jade Goody.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Layton would investigate what can be done to stop homophobia online after suffering severe trolling during his time on the show.<\/p>\n

A source said: ‘Bobby and Layton haven’t just won the hearts of the public, they have caught the eye of TV bosses with their emotional journeys on Strictly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The publication have said that Bobby, 20, (pictured) has been approached for a documentary exploring parental loss, after the tragic death of his mother Jade Goody\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There is already competition between terrestrial channels and it’s likely to spark a bidding battle.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

They would follow the likes of former winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, who was the first deaf champ on the show and later created a documentary called Signs For Change.<\/p>\n

The show’s\u00a0first disabled contestant –\u00a0Ellie Simmons – also went on to make a documentary, called\u00a0Finding My Secret Family, which followed her attempt to find her birth mother.<\/p>\n

MailOnline have contacted representatives for further comment.<\/p>\n
