A Strictly spokesperson says: “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.”
La Voix added: “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. Aljaž and I have worked incredibly hard, and we were so excited to share our routine with everyone.

“I am devastated not to be joining the rest of the cast on that famous dancefloor, but my focus now is on recovery. I’ll be cheering on all the amazing couples this weekend.”
Fans on social media rushed to send well wishes, with one writing: “Oh no!! Hope it heals soon La Voix.”
Another said: “The one week La Voix wanted to do the most.”
Many also begged Strictly bosses to bring back Vicky Pattison in La Voix’s place after she was sent home last weekend.
One wrote: “That’s such a shame to miss out this week but please put Vicky back in.”
While another demanded: “Let Vicky take her place!!!!!”
It comes after fans were left convinced bosses are pushing La Voix towards the final as they ‘line her up’ to replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
After she narrowly made it through following a tense dance off recently, one wrote: “La Voix?? Is that because she’s being lined up as a future presenter?”
Another put: “100 per cent La Voix and Aljaž should have gone home. Harry and Karen were definitely the better dancers.”
