Who is La Voix?
La Voix, born Christopher Dennis, is a dynamic performer, presenter and vocalist.
She first rose to prominence in the entertainment world as a semi-finalist on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014.
La Voix later gained international acclaim through appearances on shows including Queen of the Universe and Queens For The Night.
In 2024, La Voix was a fan favourite and runner-up on the sixth series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, earning four RuPeter Badges for winning multiple challenges, including the Snatch Game and a musical Rusical performance.
Growing up in Stockton-on-Tees, La Voix moved to London aged 18 to study drama at Brunel University before training in musical theatre at the Urdang Academy.
Her career spans decades and includes performances worldwide on over 80 cruise ships and regular pantomime roles.
This is on top of La Voix’s live shows combining powerful vocals, comedy and celebrity impressions — she has the ability to channel legendary divas like Tina Turner, Cher and Judy Garland.
La Voix interviewed iconic personalities such as Dawn French and Joanna Lumley, and even performed for the Royal Family at its exclusive New Year’s Eve ball for two consecutive years.
The entertainer has also been involved in film, including a role in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie.
La Voix’s participation in Strictly Come Dancing is historic as she is the first drag queen to compete in the main series of the show.
While drag performers have appeared in the program’s Christmas specials before, La Voix is breaking new ground by joining the main line-up.
Speaking with the BBC, 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 also told Radio 2’s Scott Mills: “I can’t dance, I’ve always said it’s not my thing.
“I’ve managed to get through 20 years of being on stage by standing in the centre and having dancers choreographed around me, now I can’t hide behind that any more.”
