Heartbreak on the Blackpool Ballroom Floor: La Voix Forced to Withdraw from Strictly Due to Injury!
It’s a tough blow for Strictly Come Dancing fans! Drag performer La Voix, a beloved contestant on the show, has had to pull out of the highly anticipated Blackpool weekend due to a foot injury. This means she won’t be gracing the iconic Tower Ballroom stage this Saturday. The news has undoubtedly left many viewers, including La Voix herself, feeling disappointed. But here’s where it gets controversial…
La Voix, partnered with professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec, was advised by doctors to rest after sustaining the injury last week. She expressed her devastation, stating she was heartbroken to miss the performance in such a legendary venue. The performer emphasized the hard work she and Aljaž had put in, and their excitement to share their routine with everyone. Her focus is now on recovery, and she plans to return to the dance floor as soon as possible.
In a heartfelt message on Instagram, La Voix shared more details about her injury. She explained that despite pushing through the pain initially, it became clear after Saturday’s performance that the injury wasn’t improving. She’s now following medical advice to rest, promising to return stronger, brighter, and sassier than ever! But what does this mean for the competition?
Will La Voix Return to the Competition?
Fortunately, there’s good news! A Strictly spokesperson confirmed that La Voix and Aljaž will automatically advance to next week’s show. This gives them a chance to recover and hopefully return to the dance floor. This is in line with the rules of Strictly Come Dancing.
Who Will Dance in Blackpool?
While La Voix and Aljaž are sidelined, the show must go on! Six other celebrities are set to compete at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom this Saturday: Balvinder Sopal, Amber Davies, Lewis Cope, Alex Kingston, Karen Carney, and George Clarke. Additionally, returning Strictly finalists Ashley Roberts, Danny Mac, Jay McGuiness, and Layton Williams will perform with the professional dancers.
