In episode 4, Paul is joined by triple threat West End star Layton Williams, who also has danced for New Adventures (Lord Of The Flies 2014-15, The Car Man 2015-16).
In the episode, Layton talks about landing the role of Billy Elliot out of thousands of boys auditioning, and how it changed his life - from the vigorous dance training that prepared him for jobs beyond Billy Elliot, to getting a taste of living in London at a young age, as well as his plans and dreams for the future.
