Strictly Come Dancing stars Nikita Kuzmin and Layton Williams’ jokily confrontational chat during their performance on Saturday was revealed in this week’s hidden mic clip! The audio footage is usually shared a few days after the show – and this one revealed what Layton and Nikita said to one another during their Cuban Salsa!
During the dance, where the story follows a dance off, Nikita says: “Yeah, you,” pointing at Layton, who replies: “What bro… you wanna go?” Nikita then says: “Come on brother?!” Layton commented on the hilarious moment, writing: “We really committed to them characters @nikita__kuzmin loool.”
Fans were loving the moment, with one also commenting: “Loved Layton and Nikita’s level of casualness (in terms of dialogue)… especially considering the dance itself was on fire.” Another person added: “Team Lakita and whatever Krishnan and Lauren’s team name is because both pairs are clearly having so much fun.”
Fans were also loving Krishnan Guru-Murphy and Lauren Oakley’s performance, where she can be heard encouraging him. Krishnan commented, writing: “If you have @laurenmayoakley shouting ‘Go Baby Go!’ at the end of your dance… You Go!!!!”
Fans were full of praise for their routine, with Craig Revel Horwood saying: “I wanted a pointed toe (boo!) but a-may-zing”. Motsi says “worthy of Club Tropicana, incredible.” While Shirley Ballas added that they are a “magical team”. She continued: “You look like twins, A-star, well done.”
After making it through to Halloween Week, Nikita and Layton filmed a thank you message to fans, saying: “Hey guys! Thank you so much for voting. We are so so happy to be through to Halloween week, legendary week.”
Layton said: “Halloween’s a big moment for me so hopefully we bring it, really appreciate the votes, another day another slay!”
Layton has revealed that he has been the victim of social media trolling following his participation on Strictly, and recently posted a message on X, formerly known as Twitter, which read: “Instead of coming at me with hateful comments, use your energy to shower your fave celeb with love instead. Pretty sure it will make us all feel much better!”
