In a dazzling announcement, *Strictly Come Dancing* has confirmed that drag performer and entertainer **La Voix** will be joining the 2025 series - marking a historic first for the main show.

La Voix becomes the seventh celebrity contestant revealed for this year’s glittering line-up. The news was unveiled on *The Scott Mills Breakfast Show* on BBC Radio 2, and has been met with widespread excitement and praise.

A seasoned performer, La Voix rose to prominence as a finalist on *Britain’s Got Talent*, and later wowed audiences on *Queen of the Universe* and ITV’s *Queens For The Night*. Most recently, she captured hearts as the runner-up on *RuPaul’s Drag Race UK* in 2024, earning four RuPeter Badges and becoming a fan favourite.

Her CV is as glittering as her wardrobe: she’s graced the silver screen in *Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie*, hosted her own live show *La Voix Meets* \- interviewing icons like **Dawn French** and **Joanna Lumley** \- and even performed for the Royal Family at their exclusive New Year’s Eve ball two years running.

Speaking about her upcoming *Strictly* debut, La Voix 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.”

La Voix joins a diverse cast that includes TikTok star **George Clarke**, *EastEnders* actress **Balvinder Sopal**, reality TV personality **Dani Dyer**, actress **Alex Kingston**, football coach **Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink**, and *Gladiators* star **Harry Aikines-Aryeetey**.

The 2025 series of *Strictly Come Dancing* is set to return to **BBC One** and **BBC iPlayer** this September.
