Strictly star Layton Williams tells judges to bring on the criticism
The actor isn't afraid of the judges' heat.
When it comes to Strictly Come Dancing, we can always count on the judges to bring their expert critiquing, some more harsh than others - ahem, Craig Revel Horwood.
Well, one contestant from this year's line-up who isn't worried about criticism is actor Layton Williams, 29.
Asked how he feels about the judges' comments, he told RadioTimes.com exclusively: "Bring it on! I love a 'no'.
"But, honestly, if you're gonna give me a 'no' and make me better, then I'll take it to next week and I will put it into fruition, and I'm going to hopefully come back shining a little bit brighter."
Currently in joint second place on the leaderboard with 29 points, Layton doesn't have too much to worry about, however.
