Strictly’s La Voix Breaks Silence After Quitting Series
La Voix, a star from the hit BBC ballroom show Strictly Come Dancing, has made an emotional announcement after being forced to quit due to a foot injury. The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star had been participating in the competition and was paired with professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec.
The 2025 edition of Strictly Come Dancing is currently airing, and this week’s episode saw La Voix’s journey come to an unexpected end. Host Tess Daly broke the news during the show on November 22, stating that the star was unable to continue due to her injury.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, La Voix expressed her disappointment: “This isn’t the glittering exit I ever imagined, and it breaks my heart to feel like I’m letting people down.
After all week of hoping, healing, and doing everything I possibly could, my injury simply hasn’t improved the way we prayed it would.” She continued, “I’m devastated not to be able to continue the adventure with Aljaz, but I’m endlessly grateful for everything he’s given me throughout this experience.”
La Voix’s absence has significant implications for the show. Tess Daly announced that no celebrity would be eliminated in this week’s episode due to her withdrawal. This decision was made to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the integrity of the competition.
The Journey So Far
Before her injury, La Voix had been making waves on Strictly Come Dancing. The star had shared candid moments with fans about her preparation for the show and her love for dancing.

“To everyone who has supported me, voted for me, and sent such kind messages: thank you,” La Voix wrote on Instagram. “Your love has lifted me more than you know.” She added, “What upsets me most is feeling like I’ve let my wonderful partner, Aljaz Skorjanec, down. He has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me from day one, and I so desperately wanted to keep dancing for him as much as for myself.”
Impact on the Competition
The sudden departure of La Voix means that her dance routine with Aljaz Skorjanec will not be seen by viewers. However, the producers have ensured that this will not disrupt the flow of the competition. Tess Daly’s announcement during the show emphasized the importance of maintaining the schedule and avoiding any unnecessary drama.
