Strictly Come Dancing fans are expressing their worries for Layton Williams as the semi-final performances are announced. Williams, who has been a fan favourite on the show, has been tasked with performing the Rumba and the Charleston alongside his professional partner, Nikita Kuzmin. Fans have taken to social media platforms to voice their concerns, with some calling the Rumba a "death sentence" dance. However, others are hopeful that Williams will excel in the Charleston and show a softer side in the Rumba.
Concerns raised by fans
One fan on Reddit expressed their hopes for Layton and Nikita's performance, saying, "A Layton and Nikita Rumba and Charleston, that is literally all I could have wanted, just hope this rumba isn't a death sentence like it is for so many other contestants. If done right I think it could be really beautiful." Another fan mentioned the challenge of creating a romantic narrative for the Rumba after Nikita described Layton as a "brother" during a previous performance.
Endless praise for Layton
Layton Williams has received continuous praise from the show's judges throughout the competition. However, the show has recently faced accusations of favouritism after judge Motsi Mabuse became emotional while praising Williams. Mabuse was visibly moved by Williams' performance and commended him for his ability to shine despite the negativity he has received.
The semi-final of Strictly Come Dancing is now approaching, and fans will be eagerly awaiting Layton Williams' performances in the Rumba and Charleston.
