Strictly professional slams fans for bullying Layton Williams in scathing tweet
FORMER Strictly professional dancer Robin Windsor has hit out at show fans for bullying Layton Williams.
The former pro star on the BBC dance contest sent a scathing message to viewers of the show as he slammed the treatment of contestant, Bad Education actor and West End star Layton.
Robin, who appeared on the show between 2010 and 2013, insisted that the star was being 'bullied' during his time on the show.
Layton has received some criticism throughout his time on the show regarding his level of dance experience before signing up to compete.
It has seen the star flooded with hateful messages but now Robin has waded into the war and taken a stand for Layton.
Writing online, Robin fumed: "STOP this hatred for @LaytonWilliams it’s BULLYING ffs.

"The poor guy sees all these comments everyone tags him in - how is that supposed to make him feel?"
He then insisted the trolls should be "ashamed" as he issued another brutal put down.
Robin continued: "You should all be ashamed of [yourselves].
"What ever happened to be KIND?"
The 29 year old is dancing alongside Nikita Kuzmin on the show and has seen high scores throughout his time on the dancefloor as well as being the only star to secure the top marked of 40 - on two occasions.
It had previously been claimed that some of his co-stars had been left "frustrated" at having to compete alongside the star thanks to his background.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Of course there have always been dancers of different standards on Strictly, that's part of the show's greatness.
“But this is ridiculous, he is as good or even better than his professional partner. There is such an uneven playing field here that it is impossible for any of the other contestants to have a chance of winning, even if the viewers do enjoy watching a celebrity's journey.
“While there might not be a rule that professional dancers can't take part, it absolutely goes against the spirit of the show.”
