Yes, the problem is Layton is a current professional dancer, not someone who was professional decades ago, such as Debbie McGee, or someone who is dance-trained but hasn't been using it regularly in their day-job in the years prior to Strictly, e.g. Caroline, Danny or Jay. I sometimes like the ringers (aforesaid Danny, Jay and Debbie are some of my all-time favourites), I may warm to Layton (I'm often surprised by whom I end up liking, and vice versa), but it does feel as if the producers wanted to sign him up at all costs, to hell with the fairness of it. I just hate it when someone who is never going to lose a dance-off is also unpopular with the viewers and boringly knocks people with more of a story in them out of the competition.
