The glitterball trophy just got a whole lot more fabulous as Strictly Come Dancing confirms its first major signing for the 2025 season - none other than drag sensation La Voix.
A Trailblazing Addition to the Dance Floor
In what marks a groundbreaking moment for the BBC's flagship dance competition, La Voix will become the first drag performer to compete for the coveted Strictly crown. The announcement has sent waves of excitement through both the entertainment and LGBTQ+ communities.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining Strictly Come Dancing," La Voix told The Independent. "As a longtime fan of the show, to be making history as the first drag artist in the lineup is both an honour and a responsibility I don't take lightly."
From Talent Shows to the Dance Floor
Fans will recognise La Voix from her memorable appearances on Britain's Got Talent in 2014, where she wowed judges with her powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence. More recently, she brought her unique brand of entertainment to RuPaul's Drag Race UK, cementing her status as one of Britain's most beloved drag performers.
The entertainer, known for her stunning vocals and razor-sharp wit, has built a formidable reputation in the entertainment industry over the past decade. Her participation in Strictly 2025 represents a significant step forward for diversity and representation in mainstream television.
What to Expect from La Voix's Strictly Journey
While the professional dance partner pairings won't be revealed until closer to the show's autumn 2025 launch, insiders suggest La Voix's background in performance and stagecraft could make her a formidable competitor.
"Viewers can expect the same energy, glamour and professionalism that La Voix brings to every performance," a show source revealed. "She's a natural entertainer who understands how to connect with an audience, which is half the battle on Strictly."
A New Chapter for Strictly Representation
This historic casting follows years of speculation about when Strictly would welcome its first drag performer. The move has been widely praised by diversity advocates and entertainment critics alike.
The 2025 season of Strictly Come Dancing is expected to launch in September next year, with the full celebrity lineup typically revealed throughout the summer months. With La Voix already confirmed, anticipation is building for what promises to be one of the most diverse and exciting casts in the show's history.
As La Voix prepares to trade her microphone for dance shoes, one thing is certain: the Strictly dance floor has never looked more fabulous.
