News of his romance comes after it was reported that the Strictly Come Dancing crew are reportedly having “difficulty” filming Layton on the show because he wears “revealing” clothing.
The 29-year-old actor, who received praise from viewers for his “Movie Week” dance on Saturday, was reportedly told to cover himself more instead of wearing skimpy clothing.
However, despite being criticized by the crew for his choice of outfit, Layton continues to wear his usual look. According to The Mirror, he said: “The camera crew keep asking me to wear more clothes.”
“In the training room they say, ‘We see a lot of things.’ But that’s how I feel comfortable. I have my jock strap on, it’s the BBC. But everything is nice and close and together.”

On Saturday, Layton and Nikita danced the Viennese Waltz to There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease. Layton wore drag attire, a bright pink top inspired by Grease’s “Pink Ladies” and a black ballroom dancing skirt.
His colorful shirt had “Rizzo” stitched across the front as he took on the role of the iconic character from the hit 1978 film.
Meanwhile, Nikita opted for an all-black outfit and styled his locks in a ’70s quiff, in the spirit of John Travolta’s Danny Zuko.
