Strictly Come Dancing’s La Voix is set to miss this weekend’s Blackpool special after suffering an injury. The drag queen, real name Christopher Dennis, made it through to next week’s show with her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec after performing a Couple’s Choice to Don’t Rain On My Parade by Barbara Streisand.
While La Voix was set to perform in Strictly’s highly-anticipated Blackpool special, Strictly has announced that they are unable to compete after injuring herself. A show spokesperson said in a statement: “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 will not be performing on Saturday night after suffering an injury
La Voix added that they are withdrawing from the weekend’s shows with “immense sadness”. They added: “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.”
La Voix added that they will be “cheering on all the amazing couples this weekend” as they dance in Blackpool. Last weekend’s show saw La Voix make it into the top half of the leaderboard, receiving an impressive score of 33 from the judges.
They are currently trailing behind Alex Kingston, Lewis Cope and Amber Davies – who is at the top of the leaderboard. On Sunday night, fans watched as Vicky Pattison became the latest star to be eliminated from the competition, having received a score of 27 for her Jive to Girls Aloud’s Sound of the Underground.

The ex Geordie Shore star landed in the bottom two with EastEnders’ Balvinder Sopal, however the judges unanimously chose to save Balvinder after the dance-off. Vicky said during the results show: “It was so lovely while it lasted, and I’ve had the nicest time. I knew this week was a difficult one for me, and I tried my hardest as I have every week.
“Listen, I didn’t think I’d get past week one. And I’m really honoured to have shared this experience with so many amazing people. Mostly with this fella [Kai] right here. I don’t want to sound too cheesy but [to Kai] you’ve been the best partner a girl can ask for.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t get you to Blackpool but I feel like I’ve won just by having you as my partner and I’m so grateful.”
This weekend’s specials will see four ex stars return for a performance: Ashley Roberts, Danny Mac, Jay McGuiness and Layton Williams. They’ll be joining forces with the professional dancers for a special routine, celebrating some of their most famous dances.
