What the expert says...
Layton Williams made a shock appearance in the Dance-Off this weekend
Layton Williams has consistently been one of the best dancers on the show throughout the series but he found himself in the dreaded Dance-Off at the weekend.
The actor and his partner Nikita scored a total of 34 out of 40 which is fairly poor based on his previous dances which put him in trouble.
Williams competed against Angela Scanlon in the Dance-Off with Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all saving Layton & Nikita, with head judge Shirley Ballas not voting but saying she would have saved Angela and Carlos.

Despite a high mark at the weekend, bookmakers have installed him as the early favourite to leave the show next weekend with odds of 6/4 to go.
If Layton is in the Dance-Off once again next weekend it will take a massive performance to beat him which could be why he's the third favourite at 10/3.

|---|---|---|
| Bobby Brazier | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Nigel Harman | 5/2 | 28.6% |
