Despite this win, it has been confirmed that La Voix will not be performing this c0ming weekend in the iconic Blackpool ballroom.

Why isn’t La Voix performing on Strictly this weekend?
It has been confirmed that La Voix and dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec will not be performing on Strictly this weekend due to injury.
La Voix said: "It is with immense sadness that I have to withdraw from this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing shows in Blackpool. Due to an injury, I've been advised that I'm unable to perform, and my heart truly breaks knowing I won't be dancing in such an iconic venue."
A Strictly spokesperson added: "Due to injury, La Voix has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, will not dance in this weekend's Blackpool specials. In line with the rules of Strictly Come Dancing, La Voix and Aljaž will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish La Voix the very best for a speedy recovery."
What has La Voix said about Strictly Come Dancing 2025?
La Voix's casting was revealed on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, and she said: "I've performed for royalty, RuPaul and Simon Cowell, but nothing fills me with more excitement (and quite a bit of terror) than the thought of dancing in front of millions on live Saturday night TV.
"Strictly is a national institution and I can't wait to get started. All that's left to say is: good luck to my partner! Here's hoping they can help me go from La Voix into La Danse."
Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday 22nd November at 6:45pm.
