Strictly Come Dancing’s glittering Blackpool week took an unexpected turn — and the conversation hasn’t stopped since.
After days of speculation, Drag Race favourite La Voix has now revealed exactly what happened behind the scenes… and why she was forced to bow out just hours before stepping onto one of the most iconic ballrooms in Britain.
But her confession hasn’t silenced the rumours.
In fact, it’s ignited even more.
“This didn’t happen overnight — my foot has been screaming at me for weeks.”
Speaking on It Takes Two, La Voix explained that the painful decline began long before viewers noticed anything unusual.
According to the performer, a tiny twinge during her foxtrot snowballed into something far more serious:
“I tried to ignore it. I thought it was nothing. But every rehearsal made it worse. By the weekend, I couldn’t even wear heels.”
Producers reportedly urged her to step back after realising she was struggling to land even basic steps without wincing.
La Voix said: ‘This has been ongoing since the foxtrot. ‘I felt a little niggle in my foot, hence comments about me being flat-footed. I was thinking this will be fine, but it got gradually worse’
By Monday’s rehearsal, everyone knew: Blackpool simply wasn’t possible.
The Injury Update That Set Social Media On Fire
The morning after her announcement, La Voix shared a video update — medical boot and all.
She revealed she is suffering from a deep bone bruise at the base of her toe, the kind that can turn into a stress fracture “if you push your luck even one more time.”
Doctors warned her that one wrong move could leave her in a boot for two months.
Strictly fans were sympathetic — but the internet had other ideas.
While chatting with Janette Manrara, 42, alongside his dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec, 35, on the popular spin-off earlier this week, La Voix opened up about the injury
The Conspiracy Theory La Voix Had To Address
Within hours, a corner of social media began suggesting she was “avoiding the dance-off” or “using the bye rule” to glide into the next round.
Some comments included:
-
“Convenient timing, isn’t it?”
-
“Funny how injuries happen right before elimination week…”
La Voix didn’t ignore it.
On It Takes Two, she responded with a calm but firm message:
“I love this show. If I could dance on that floor, I’d crawl there. Nothing about this has felt easy.”
Sources close to the production also confirmed multiple X-rays, MRIs, and physio sessions were done before the final call was made.
The Strictly Loophole Keeping Her In The Competition
Because the injury occurred during rehearsals — and not mid-performance — La Voix and partner Aljaž Škorjanec are automatically carried through to next week under Strictly’s long-standing rulebook.
It’s a decision that has divided fans but delighted many who felt her journey wasn’t ready to end.
A Week Already Heavy With Emotion
Just days before her painful setback, La Voix moved viewers to tears when she spoke openly about losing her mother earlier this year.
The entertainer described it as:
“Going from a standing ovation one night to waking up in a world that suddenly felt empty.”
The emotional weight of Blackpool week — mixed with her personal grief and a worsening injury — made the situation even harder to bear, say sources.
Elsewhere in Strictly World: More Drama Unfolds
The week hasn’t only been about La Voix.
Fans also noticed the sudden absence of eliminated contestant Vicky Pattison and her pro partner Kai Widdrington on It Takes Two, sparking a wave of confusion online.
The pair returned days later, but the missing appearance left viewers buzzing with theories.
And adding even more excitement, Strictly announced its boldest twist ever — Instant Dance, launching November 29.
Couples will blindly draw a dance style, hear their music, sprint to wardrobe, and have 10 seconds to plan the routine before performing live.
Head Judge Shirley Ballas teased:
“It could change everything.”
What Happens Next for La Voix?
BBC insiders say the hope is for La Voix to return next week — if the swelling decreases and the bruise shows improvement.
For now, she’s resting, icing, and keeping fans updated.
But one thing is certain:
Her Strictly journey is far from over — and the drama has only just begun.
