Strictly Come Dancing contestant La Voix will not perform in this weekend's Blackpool specials after being advised by doctors to rest due to an injury. The drag performer and her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec will receive a bye to next week's show, in line with competition rules.
A Strictly spokesperson confirmed: “Due to injury, La Voix has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, will not dance in this weekend's Blackpool specials. In line with the rules of Strictly Come Dancing, La Voix and Aljaž will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish La Voix the very best for a speedy recovery.”
La Voix expressed her disappointment, saying: “It is with immense sadness that I have to withdraw from this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing shows in Blackpool. Due to an injury, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to perform, and my heart truly breaks knowing I won’t be dancing in such an iconic venue. Aljaž and I have worked incredibly hard, and we were so excited to share our routine with everyone. I am devastated not to be joining the rest of the cast on that famous dancefloor, but my focus now is on recovery. I’ll be cheering on all the amazing couples this weekend.”
The show will continue from Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom with six competing couples, alongside group performances from the Strictly Professional Dancers and musical guests Lewis Capaldi, Steps, and returning Strictly finalists Ashley Roberts, Danny Mac, Jay McGuiness and Layton Williams.
