A twinkle-toed former Billy Elliot ballet star is fighting for almost £600,000 compensation, claiming his “premier league” dance dreams were forever shattered when a cop stamped on his foot.
Alexander Loxton, who played the character of the “older Billy” in the hit West End musical as well as dancing with the Royal Ballet and performing at Buckingham Palace for the late Queen’s 80th birthday, says he suffered a career-wrecking ankle ligament injury during an unjustified stop-and-search by Met Police in September 2016.
