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
