Darlings, the glitter is back on! La Voix, the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star who lit up the ballroom with her unapologetic charisma and killer outfits, took to social media and the official tour announcements to spill the tea: she’s thrilled to be returning to the dancefloor alongside her Slovenian dance king. ‘I loved being part of Strictly and was devastated when my time on the show was cut short because of injury,’ she gushed in a statement that’s got fans buzzing. ‘But now I’m absolutely thrilled to have the chance to get back on an even bigger dancefloor with the sparkling 2026 Strictly Live Tour. I can’t wait to sashay my way around the country with my wonderful partner, Aljaž by my side.’

The news dropped like a sequin bomb just before the tour kicks off in January 2026, with arenas across the UK set to be packed with screaming fans ready for a night of cha-chas, waltzes, and pure sparkle. La Voix and Aljaž join an exciting lineup that already includes Gladiator star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey paired with Karen Hauer, and more couples to be announced soon. Tickets are flying faster than a quickstep, and insiders say this could be one of the most glamorous tours yet – especially with La Voix bringing her signature drag flair to the proceedings.

For those who missed the drama (how could you?!), La Voix’s Strictly journey was a rollercoaster from the start. The 2025 series saw the drag artist – real name something fabulous, we’re sure – paired with Aljaž, a Strictly veteran known for his charm and precision. Their partnership was pure magic: La Voix’s bold personality and Aljaž’s technical expertise created show-stopping routines that had judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke divided but entertained. Fans adored the duo’s chemistry, with La Voix often slaying in custom gowns that blended high fashion with ballroom glam.

But tragedy struck during rehearsals for the Blackpool special in November 2025. La Voix revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she’d sustained a serious foot injury. ‘Darlings, it breaks my heart to say this, but after all week of hoping… With the guidance of the medical team and a heavy, heavy heart I have to officially withdraw from Strictly Come Dancing.’ She described the pain as unbearable, admitting she’d kept it secret from Craig (who famously critiques with a sharp tongue) to avoid any hints of weakness. ‘I’m devastated not to be able to continue the adventure with him,’ she said of Aljaž, who appeared on the results show to support her.

The withdrawal meant no one was eliminated that week – a rare twist that kept the competition fierce. La Voix was ‘most upset’ for letting her partner down, but the Strictly family rallied around her. Aljaž, ever the gentleman, praised her spirit, while fans flooded social media with messages of love and #GetWellSoonLaVoix.

Fast-forward to early 2026, and recovery has been a triumph. In a January update, La Voix shared that after four weeks of no weight-bearing and a supportive brace, her foot is healing ‘to plan.’ She’s even teasing a full return to heels: ‘I think you can start to wear regular trainers and shoes,’ she joked in an interview. The injury update came alongside reunions with co-stars from the 2025 series, proving the Strictly bond is unbreakable. Photos of La Voix back with Aljaž – laughing, posing, and clearly buzzing for the tour – have gone viral, with fans declaring it the comeback we all needed.

The Strictly Live Tour 2026 promises to be bigger and better, hitting arenas like The O2 in London, Utilita Arena Birmingham, and more from January through February. It’s a chance for fans who couldn’t get tickets to the TV show (or just want more sparkle) to see their faves up close. La Voix’s inclusion is a masterstroke – her drag artistry brings a fresh, inclusive energy to the tour, appealing to LGBTQ+ fans and anyone who loves a bit of camp fabulousness. Expect routines that blend classic ballroom with modern twists, perhaps even some RuPaul-inspired lip-syncs for good measure.

Aljaž, who has been a Strictly pro since 2011 and won with Abbey Clancy in 2013, has been vocal about his excitement. ‘La Voix is a force,’ he’s said in recent chats, hinting at routines that showcase her personality. Their photoshoot for the tour – all glitz, glamour, and those signature poses – has social media in a frenzy. One X post from a Strictly spoiler account racked up thousands of likes: ‘Here are La Voix and Aljaž’s Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2026 Photoshoot! Can’t wait to see these two 😍💋’

Fans are over the moon. ‘La Voix sashaying around the UK? Yes please!’ one thrilled follower tweeted, while others called it ‘the redemption arc we deserve.’ Drag Race UK alums and Strictly superfans have been sharing edits, with hashtags like #StrictlyLiveTour2026 trending. Even RuPaul himself might be watching – La Voix’s journey from the Werk Room to the ballroom has been inspirational.

This isn’t just a tour return; it’s a statement of resilience. La Voix has spoken openly about the physical and emotional toll of the injury, but also how it strengthened her bond with Aljaž and the Strictly team. ‘The support has been overwhelming,’ she told Digital Spy in a health update. Reuniting on tour feels like closing the chapter on that heartbreak with a triumphant encore.

The tour lineup is shaping up to be star-studded. Alongside La Voix & Aljaž and Harry & Karen, expect more 2025 celebs and pros to join, keeping the energy high. Past tours have featured group numbers, pro dances, and audience favorites – this year, with La Voix’s flair, it could include drag elements or guest spots that push boundaries.

La Voix’s background adds extra sparkle. A veteran of the UK drag scene, she rose to fame on Drag Race UK, known for her wit, vocals (she’s a singer too!), and unfiltered honesty. Appearing on Strictly was a bold move for representation, and even with the early exit, she made history as one of the first drag artists on the main show. Her injury didn’t dim her star – if anything, it’s amplified her comeback story.

As the tour approaches, La Voix is in full preparation mode: light training, fabulous fittings, and plenty of sass. ‘Watch out!’ she teased in a recent post, hinting at slaying performances. Aljaž, meanwhile, is gearing up to lead her through routines that fans missed on TV.

Strictly bosses are thrilled – the live tour is a cash cow for the BBC, pulling in huge crowds and extending the show’s magic. With La Voix back, it’s inclusive, exciting, and ready to dazzle. Tickets are selling fast, so if you want to see her sashay, grab yours now!

From injury heartbreak to tour triumph, La Voix’s story is pure Strictly drama – minus the judges’ paddles. She’s proving that you can’t keep a queen down. Aljaž by her side, the UK arenas won’t know what’s hit them. Sashay away? No, sashay ONWARD, darling!

The Strictly Live Tour 2026 is set to be unforgettable, and with La Voix and Aljaž leading the charge, it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Fans, get your sequins ready – the ballroom is calling!
