Drag Race US star La Voix has had to withdraw completely from Strictly Come Dancing due to injury.

Due to an unfortunate injury to Drag Race star La Voix, only six of the seven remaining couples were able to compete on this week’s show. It was later announced that the 45-year-old has had to withdraw from the competition completely on medical advice.

Tess and Claudia later confirmed that there would be no elimination this week and there would therefore be no dance off.

Speaking the start of the episode, Daly said: “Now, as you may have heard, Le Voix sustained an injury, meaning that she can’t dance in Blackpool tonight, and following further advice from our medical team, we can now confirm she has very sadly had to withdraw from the competition.”

Fellow presenter Claudia Winkleman said: “We will be speaking to La Voix on tomorrow night’s show, we love you so, so much.”

This means that everyone will be back for next week’s episode. However, there is still everything to play for as the scores from this week carry over onto next week.

Strictly Come Dancing arrived at its special Blackpool week with the remaining contestants competing at the prestigious Tower Ballroom.
