The glittering world ofStrictly Come Dancinghas been dimmed by an unexpected setback. La Voix, the celebrated performer known for her dazzling stage presence, will miss this Saturday’s iconic Blackpool episode due to a recent injury.
Just last weekend, La Voix and her partner, Aljaž Škorjanec, captivated audiences with a spirited performance to Barbra Streisand’s “Don’t Rain On My Parade.” The routine was a vibrant display of energy and showmanship, leaving viewers eager for their next dance.
News of the injury broke on Tuesday, with a statement confirming La Voix’s withdrawal from the Blackpool show. Strictly’s rules allow the pair a “bye” to next week, offering a hopeful path back to the dance floor when she’s recovered.
La Voix expressed her “immense sadness” at missing the opportunity to perform in such a legendary venue. The thought of not sharing their hard work with the audience, and being absent from that famous dance floor, clearly weighed heavily on her.
In a heartfelt message to her fans, revealed on Instagram, La Voix disclosed she injured her foot last week. Driven by determination and supported by a dedicated team, she managed to complete her last performance, embodying the spirit of true showmanship.
“The show must go on,” she explained, acknowledging the immense pressure she placed on herself to deliver for her supporters. However, she emphasized the importance of listening to her body to ensure a full and powerful return.
Despite the setback, La Voix remains resolute, promising to return to the stage “louder, brighter and sassier than ever.” She intends to cheer on her fellow competitors from the sidelines, maintaining her unwavering support for the show.
Prior to the series, La Voix playfully remarked she would be making history as the only contestant “dressing down” for the live shows – a testament to her unique and flamboyant style. She even jokingly threw her hat into the ring to potentially replace the departing hosts, Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly.
This injury, while disappointing, hasn’t diminished La Voix’s spirit. Her dedication to the competition and her unwavering positivity are a testament to her character, and fans eagerly await her triumphant return.
