La Voix Exits Strictly Come Dancing After Injury
La Voix has withdrawn from Strictly Come Dancing after suffering an injury, forcing the performer to leave the competition on medical advice
Strictly Come Dancing contestant La Voix has been forced to leave the competition after suffering an injury.
The drag queen's departure was announced by presenter Tess Daly at the start of Saturday's episode from Blackpool, who said she had to withdraw on medical advice.
It was previously reported that she would be unable to perform on Saturday, but it was expected that she would return next week with dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
The 45-year-old performer said in an Instagram post, "This isn't the ending I imagined, but I'll always remember it."
La Voix's departure is the latest in a series of injuries suffered by contestants on the show. As a result, no one will be eliminated in this week's dance-off; votes will be carried forward.
La Voix is the second incarnation of Chris Dennis, who said before the series that he wanted viewers to get to know the man behind the drag act. The character became a fan favorite as a finalist on RuPaul's Drag Race UK last year.
Full details of the injury were not disclosed.
La Voix said in an Instagram post, "My mind wanted to keep dancing, but my foot had other plans."
She added: "Due to the injury, I've been told I won't be able to perform."
In recent weeks, Strictly viewers have seen La Voix and Skorjanec dancing, waltzing, and foxtrotting on the Strictly dance floor.
Last month, actor and Neighbours star Stefan Dennis withdrew from Strictly due to injury, while in September, TV personality Danny Dyer withdrew before the show began after fracturing his ankle. He was replaced by actress Amber Davies.
