Dame Arlene Phillips has called for people to give Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams a break after he became the victim of an online bullying campaign over his dance experience.
West End performer Williams, 29, has been accused of having an unfair advantage over this year’s contestants due to his theatre experience in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Billy Elliott, however former Strictly judge Phillips, who has worked with him personally, says that is not the case.
