La Voix Withdraws from Strictly Come Dancing Due to Foot Injury
La Voix, a well-known figure in the world of entertainment, has had to step away from Strictly Come Dancing due to a foot injury. This marks her as the fourth celebrity to withdraw from the competition this season, adding another unexpected twist to the ongoing drama.
The news came as a shock to fans and contestants alike. It was confirmed earlier this week that the Drag Race icon would not be performing in Blackpool due to an injury. According to the show’s rules, she received a bye to the next week, allowing her to remain in the competition for now.
In a statement released at the time, La Voix, 45, expressed her heartbreak over the situation. She said, “My heart truly breaks knowing I won’t be dancing in such an iconic venue.” Her words resonated with many who have followed her journey on the show.
Sad Update During the Show
During Saturday’s live show from the Tower Ballroom, hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman delivered the sad news. Tess began by saying, “You may have heard, La Voix sustained an injury, meaning that she can’t dance in Blackpool tonight.” The cameras then cut to La Voix in the audience, looking deeply upset as the audience applauded her.
Claudia added that the performer and her professional partner, Aljaž Škorjanec, would be interviewed during tomorrow night’s results show. This provided some comfort to fans who were eager to hear more about her situation.
La Voix’s Emotional Message
After the news aired, La Voix took to her Instagram feed to share her feelings. She wrote, “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 expressed her devastation at having to withdraw from the competition, calling it “not the glittering exit I ever imagined.”
She also mentioned feeling like she was letting people down, especially her partner, Aljaž Škorjanec. “He has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me from day one,” she said. “I so desperately wanted to keep dancing for him as much as for myself.”
Her message concluded with gratitude for the support she received from fans. “To my fellow contestants — keep sparkling. To everyone who has supported me, voted for me, and sent such kind messages: thank you. Your love has lifted me more than you know.”
No Eliminations This Weekend
In a surprising turn of events, it was announced that no one will be eliminated this weekend. This decision brought relief to the remaining contestants, who celebrated the news with joy.
Tess Daly shared the announcement, saying, “This year, Blackpool is going to be even more special.” She added, “We can confirm no one will be leaving Strictly this weekend.” The cast reacted with excitement, hugging each other and cheering in the ballroom.
This decision was welcomed by fans, who expressed their relief on social media. Many commented that it was a fair move, especially considering La Voix’s withdrawal.
A Special Results Show
Although there will be no elimination, the results show will still air. Instead of a traditional dance-off, it will feature performances by Strictly alumni and Lewis Capaldi. This promises to be a celebration of the show’s legacy, offering fans a different kind of entertainment.
All votes and scores from this weekend will carry over to next week’s totals. The public vote remains open, and the judges will continue to score the routines as normal.
Other Withdrawals This Season
La Voix is not the only celebrity to leave the competition this season. Earlier, Game of Thrones actor Kristian Nairn, Dani Dyer, and Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis also had to withdraw due to various reasons.
Despite the challenges, the show continues to captivate audiences with its mix of talent, drama, and excitement. As the competition moves forward, fans remain hopeful for what’s to come.
