why is la voix not going to blackpool
La Voix is not going to Blackpool for the Strictly Come Dancing specials because she has suffered a foot injury and has been advised by doctors to rest instead of performing.
What happened?
La Voix, the drag persona of performer Chris Dennis, injured her foot shortly before the Blackpool week shows for Strictly Come Dancing.
Medical professionals told her she should not dance, so the BBC confirmed she would miss the Blackpool specials despite them being one of the most iconic events in the Strictly calendar.
La Voixâs own statement
La Voix described it as being with âimmense sadnessâ that she had to withdraw from the Blackpool shows, saying her heart was broken not to dance in such an iconic venue.
She also said she and her professional partner AljaĹž Ĺ korjanec had worked very hard on their routine, but that recovery now has to be her focus.
What it means for Strictly
Reports explain that La Voix will miss the Blackpool special but was initially expected to move through to the following week under Strictlyâs usual rules for injured contestants.
Later coverage notes that she ultimately had to withdraw from the competition altogether because of the injury, making her Blackpool absence effectively the end of her Strictly 2025 journey.
