Strictly Come Dancing fans are in absolute hysterics after judge La Voix delivered a savage – and spot-on – comparison that had co-host Claudia Winkleman doubled over in laughter backstage.

In a hilarious new reel posted by the official BBC Strictly account, the fabulous drag sensation La Voix doesn’t hold back, likening Claudia’s iconic fringe and wide-eyed expression to the infamous “girl from the Willy Wonka experience” in Glasgow.

“Yes, darling, it’s giving full-on Glasgow Willy Wonka girl!” La Voix declares with perfect comic timing, complete with dramatic flair and that unmistakable voice.

Claudia, ever the good sport, bursts into giggles, clutching her sides as the camera captures the pure chaos. 💀🤣

The caption seals the deal: “Not La Voix comparing Claudia to the girl from the Willy Wonka experience 💀🤣 Get more backstage chaos on our YouTube channel, no golden ticket required 😉 #Strictly”

Already clocking up 139K views and 1.3K reactions in hours, the clip is the gift that keeps on giving for Strictly lovers craving off-stage antics during this glittering 2025 series.

These screenshots from the reel are comedy gold: La Voix in full glamorous judge mode – sequins sparkling, makeup flawless, hand gestures on point – delivering the killer line; Claudia’s fringe framing her shocked-yet-amused face perfectly; the pair dissolving into laughter that feels genuinely infectious.

For those who’ve been living under a rock (or not doom-scrolling TikTok), the “Glasgow Willy Wonka experience” became one of 2024’s biggest viral disasters. Billed as an immersive chocolate factory dream, it turned out to be a sparsely decorated warehouse with a few jelly beans, one Oompa-Loompa, and distraught kids crying over broken promises.

The breakout star? A sad, wide-eyed actress in a cheap costume who went viral for her deadpan delivery of lines like “There is nothing here” and serving “a lime bean in a cup” as the “chocolate river.” Memes exploded overnight – her expression became the ultimate symbol of disappointment and surreal horror.

And now, La Voix – the larger-than-life cabaret icon who joined the Strictly judging panel this year as a guest favourite – has nailed the resemblance between that poor girl’s bewildered stare and Claudia’s signature big-eyed, fringe-heavy look.

Fans are losing it. Comments are pouring in: “This is the most accurate comparison I’ve ever heard 💀”; “Claudia is literally the posh version of the Wonka girl 😂”; “La Voix needs a permanent seat – the shade is immaculate!”

One wrote: “No golden ticket required? Savage! 😂” Another: “Strictly backstage is better than the actual show sometimes!”

La Voix, real name Chris Dennis, has been a breath of fresh air on the panel. Known for jaw-dropping vocals, razor-sharp wit, and show-stopping outfits, the performer has won over viewers with unfiltered opinions and endless one-liners.

Remember last week’s critique where La Voix told one celeb: “Darling, that was less tango and more tangled!”? Or the time they compared a rumba to “a wet Tuesday in Blackpool”? Pure TV magic.

Claudia Winkleman, the queen of Strictly with her flawless hosting, trademark fringe, and dry humour, took the joke like a champ. The pair’s chemistry is off the charts – Claudia often plays the straight woman to the judges’ extravagance, but here she’s fully in on the fun.

This year’s series has been a blockbuster: Emotional highs, controversial eliminations, showmances rumours, and dances that have left us breathless. But it’s these backstage moments that remind us why we love Strictly – it’s a family, glitter, chaos, and all.

The Willy Wonka fiasco itself spawned endless parodies, AI recreations, and even the actress embracing her fame with merch. Now, tied to Strictly? It’s meme heaven.

BBC bosses are clearly loving the buzz – directing fans to their YouTube for more “backstage chaos.” Expect full-length clips of dressing room banter, warm-ups gone wrong, and more La Voix gems.

As the series hurtles towards the grand final, moments like this keep the sparkle alive. La Voix has cemented their status as the judge we didn’t know we needed – bold, brilliant, and brutally funny.

Claudia? Still our fringe icon forever.

And the Glasgow Wonka girl? She’s officially entered Strictly legend.

No golden ticket needed – just hit play on that reel and thank us later.
