Strictly: Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin perform Argentine Tango<\/h3>\n

Layton Williams has responded to rumours that his father is a billionaire ahead of Strictly Come Dancing\u2019s annual Blackpool showcase.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (14 November) the West End star took to social media to highlight that his Wikipedia page had been altered and that false information had been inserted.<\/p>\n

In a screenshot, posted to Layton\u2019s 59,000 X followers, it could be read that Williams was born in Bury, Greater Manchester, to a white mother and a billionaire father of Jamaican descent.<\/p>\n

Alongside the picture, the 29-year-old wrote: \u201cFYI, I was raised on a council estate in Bury.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately my dad is\/was\/(will probs never be) a billionaire.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following day, Layton corrected his typo and said the original sentiment was supposed to read \u201cIs not\/was\u201d.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cIs \u2018NOT\u2019 haha. 100% not. Not me confirming that he is,\u201d followed by a laughing face.<\/p>\n

In response, comedian Laura Smyth commented: \u201cThis feels like (sic) Tracy Beaker lies!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Strictly star replied: \u201cLiterally lol\u201d.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, another fan said: \u201cI see this often that ‘facts’ about people online are just total rubbish. Can’t believe hardly anything you read on the internet these days. Fab dance on Saturday by the way. Goosebumps!\u201d<\/p>\n
