La Voix Withdraws From Strictly’s Blackpool Week With Foot Injury, Receives Bye to Next Show

Doctors ordered rest for a bone bruise at the toe joint, leaving a hoped‑for return next week uncertain.

Overview

  • La Voix will not dance in the Blackpool special this weekend after medical advice, with the BBC confirming a bye for the pair to the following week.
  • La Voix says scans point to a deep bone bruise likely caused by heels that could progress to a stress fracture, and they are using a protective boot with MRI, X‑ray and physiotherapy underway.
  • The performer explained the issue has worsened since Foxtrot week, noted last show’s switch to flats, and used It Takes Two to deny claims they were avoiding a planned samba.
  • The couple is aiming to be back for the November 29 live show, though recovery remains in doubt, and Aljaž Škorjanec has been seen in Blackpool supporting other events.
  • Fans and former professionals are pressing for clarity on injury byes, with suggestions of a non‑elimination week or reinstatement of an exited contestant, but no rule changes have been announced.
