La Voix has confirmed her return to Strictly Come Dancing, participating in the live arena tour in 2026. The drag performer, who had to withdraw from this year’s competition due to an injury, will rejoin the cast alongside fellow contestants and judges.
Initially, La Voix partnered with Aljaz Škorjanec in the current season, but her journey was cut short when she announced her withdrawal, stating, “I’m absolutely devastated to be withdrawing from Strictly Come Dancing. This isn’t the glittering exit I ever imagined, and it breaks my heart to feel like I’m letting people down.” Despite her disappointment, she expressed gratitude for the support she received from fans during her time on the show.
The upcoming tour will see La Voix reunited with Škorjanec after their brief stint on the show. La Voix, who gained recognition as the runner-up on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2024, shared her excitement about returning to the dance floor, saying, “I’m absolutely thrilled to have the chance to get back on an even bigger dancefloor with the sparkling 2026 Strictly live tour.”

Alongside La Voix, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, a former Team GB sprinter, will also return to the tour with his partner Karen Hauer. Aikines-Aryeetey, who was the sixth contestant eliminated from the competition, expressed his enthusiasm for the tour, stating, “I’m switching the Gladiators arena for the Strictly live tour arenas and can’t wait to get back on the dance floor.”
The 2026 tour launches at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on January 23, 2026, and will feature performances across multiple cities, including Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Nottingham. The tour will conclude with five shows at London’s O2 Arena in mid-February.
Audience participation will play a crucial role, as fans will help decide who wins the coveted glitterball trophy at each show. The performances will include a mix of dance routines and live music, with a British Sign Language interpreter available at each event.
Following the casting announcement, fans took to social media to express their excitement. One user remarked, “Omg this is brilliant La Voix is on the Strictly tour get in there,” while another added, “Glad for La Voix after her journey ended as it did, she’ll be in her element on tour!”
