Strictly Come Dancing has announced that RuPaul's Drag Race star La Voix is joining the 2025 series. The drag queen, who was a runner-up on last year's Drag Race UK, will be joined by model Ellie Goldstein and former England rugby union captain Chris Robshaw.
La Voix said that, despite 'performing for royalty, RuPaul and Simon Cowell ... nothing fills me with more excitement (and quite a bit of terror) than the thought of dancing in front of millions on live Saturday night TV'. Goldstein, who made history in 2023 as the first model with Down syndrome to appear on the cover of British Vogue, said she was 'absolutely over the moon to be joining' the show.
Other stars confirmed for the series include Love Island winner Dani Dyer, ER actor Alex Kingston, football manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, social media star George Clarke, and EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal. Sopal, who plays Suki Kaur Panesar on the soap, said: 'Working on EastEnders and being a part of Strictly Come Dancing is the stuff that dreams are made of.'
The remaining contestants will be announced throughout August. Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One from September through to December.
