Fans of Strictly Come Dancing may have noticed that drag performer La Voix is more than just a dazzling dancer—she’s also catching the eye of producers for something bigger.
The cabaret star, whose real name is Christopher Dennis, has been impressing everyone not only with her glittering performances but also with her sharp humor and natural hosting flair.
From Contestant to Potential Presenter
During her run on the show, La Voix didn’t hide her ambitions to step into a presenting role.
She openly asked Claudia Winkleman where she could send her CV and often stood in during sketches alongside the main presenters on Saturday live shows.
Her charm and quick wit made her a fan favorite—and now, it seems, she’s on the radar of the BBC’s top brass.
Stepping Into Hosting Duties
This week, La Voix was called in to host the finalists’ press conference, an event typically led by Strictly It Takes Two hosts Fleur East and Janette Manrara.
The press conference, held at BBC’s Broadcasting House, sparked excitement behind the scenes.
Staff were quick to notice that Kalpna Patel-Knight, the BBC’s Head of Entertainment Commissioning, was watching La Voix closely, and insiders suggest it was essentially an audition for future roles.
Comparisons to Dame Edna and Backstage Praise
One source revealed, “Producers see her as the next Dame Edna and are determined to find a role for her on Strictly, whether it’s on the main show or the spin-off It Takes Two.”
Claudia Winkleman has been a vocal supporter, often championing La Voix as a perfect fit for the program.
Meanwhile, she’s also impressed audiences filling in on BBC’s Morning Live, stepping in alongside Helen Skelton to replace Gethin Jones.
Backstage, Dennis has earned respect for his kindness and support toward crew members, drawing comparisons to Barry Humphries, the legendary mind behind Dame Edna.
“He’s been an incredible support to everyone behind the scenes, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed at the top,” the insider added.
Future on the Horizon
While the BBC is currently focused on finding replacements for Claudia and Tess, discussions are underway about where La Voix could fit into the Strictly family.
Fans will remember that the Drag Race UK star had to pull out of the current series due to injury after dancing with Aljaž Skorjanec, but she returned recently to cheer on Karen Carney as she lifted the iconic glitterball trophy.
It looks like for La Voix, the next chapter could be as a household name behind the microphone—bringing sparkle, wit, and charm to screens across the UK.
