The world of Strictly Come Dancing has been rocked by an unexpected departure, and it’s a story that will leave you wanting more. La Voix, the beloved drag queen contestant, has sadly had to withdraw from the competition due to an injury. But here’s where it gets controversial… the show must go on, and with La Voix’s exit, no one will be eliminated this week, leaving fans with a unique twist.
It was presenter Tess Daly who broke the news at the start of Saturday’s episode, set in the iconic Blackpool ballroom. She revealed that La Voix, real name Chris Dennis, had to follow medical advice and withdraw from the competition. This news came as a surprise to many, especially as there were hopes that La Voix would return next week with her partner, Aljaž Škorjanec.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, La Voix shared her disappointment yet gratitude for the experience, saying, “This isn’t the ending I imagined, but I’ll cherish this forever.” She added, “My spirit wanted to keep dancing, but my foot had other plans.”
La Voix’s journey on Strictly has been a highlight for many viewers, with her performances, including jive, waltz, and foxtrot, leaving a lasting impression. Her character, a fan favorite from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, has brought a unique energy to the dancefloor.
However, injuries have taken a toll on this year’s contestants. La Voix’s withdrawal follows similar incidents, including actor Stefan Dennis’ exit last month due to injury and TV personality Dani Dyer’s withdrawal before the show began after breaking her ankle.
The exact nature of La Voix’s injury remains a mystery, but it has undoubtedly impacted her ability to continue in the competition.
And this is the part most people miss… Strictly Come Dancing is not just about the dance moves; it’s about the stories and connections formed along the way. La Voix’s journey has been an inspiration, and her impact will be felt long after her final dance.
