Strictly Come Dancing’s Layton Williams has introduced the nation to his new boyfriend via a photo of the pair bathing together in what appeared to be red wine.
Despite the intimate pictures, the star teased he wouldn’t be revealing the name of his beau, telling his 205,000 Instagram followers: “Happy birthday to my fave! #hardlaunch but no @ coz y’all are too [nosy].”
Aside from his disappearing Instagram Story, which is automatically removed from the site 24 hours after publication, he also posted a tribute to his new beau on his account’s main page.
“Birthday boy. How it started vs How it’s going,” he wrote, adding a love heart emoji.
In one photo, he posed with the mystery man at Glastonbury Festival, while in another, the pair seemed to be relaxing in a tub filled with wine, sparking a frenzy amongst fans.

“So cute. But why is your wine glass filled with water and the bathtub filled with red wine??!” quizzed one fan.
The couple were believed to have been enjoying a pricey spa day at AIRE Ancient Baths London, with a Signature Wine Experience setting each couple back £900.
However, it boasts health benefits, with the antioxidant properties of the Spanish Ribera del Duero red grapes apparently rejuvenating anyone who soaks in the tub.
The experience also includes a cranial massage and an hour-long full body massage using grapeseed oil, alongside a tour through the ancient thermal baths on the premises.

It’s the most expensive spa choice on the menu, indicating that Layton and his beau are pulling out all the stops for each other as their relationship begins to heat up.
The Bad Education actor previously hinted that there was someone special in his life on Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach podcast, telling the comedian: “I’ve got a man, you know, it’s new though, it’s only been a soft launch on Instagram.”
Now fans have been treated to a “hard launch” – and the coupling has won the seal of approval from more than 18,000 fans who hit the like button – including Carol Vorderman.
“Love seeing you so happy!” gushed one fan, while another commented on their spa scene with the words: “That’s a hell of way to celebrate!”
One follower inquisitively asked: “Who was in the bathroom with you to snap the pix?!?!” while another quipped in response: “Doesn’t @nikita__kuzmin know that three’s a crowd?”
Layton and Nikita came back from the brink after narrowly avoiding elimination last weekend on Strictly, and it’s believed that the pair still have a chance of lifting the Glitterball Trophy together by the end of the year.
Layton’s had more than his fair share of trolling after critics found fault with his feminine wardrobe on the shadow and begged him to wear a suit instead.
He’s also received backlash over his theatrical experience in the West End, which some say gives him an “unfair advantage” in the competition.
However, the actor, who has branded the criticism “sad and unnecessary”, has a hugely supportive fanbase who are rooting for him to go further on the show.
