Strictly Come Dancing made it to Blackpool this week and much to our surprise, we thoroughly enjoyed it! Even though there was a huge disappointment with La Voix not being able to dance, it turned out to be a really fun weekend.
Usually we can’t get excited about Blackpool. Yes, we know there’s a bouncy floor. Yes, we know it’s the home of ballroom. We’ve seen every photo of the judges all dancing there. We know there will be trams and the tower and the pier on the VTs. Yawn!
But this weekend, it actually felt a bit different.

Farewell La Voix
It had been announced earlier in the week that La Voix had injured her foot and couldn’t dance this weekend. But last night, Tess revealed that on medical advice La Voix had withdrawn from the competition altogether.
La Voix was in the audience, looking emotional, as the news broke. And we are pretty sad about it. She was such a good addition to the show – funny and sharp and actually on a proper Strictly (apologies for using this word!) ‘journey’.
Anyway, thanks to La Voix leaving early, plus Stefan Dennis pulling out a few weeks ago, it was announced that no one would be leaving this week, meaning there was no dance-off this weekend!
The contestants were delighted! And actually it took the pressure off the whole show and – dare we say it – made it more fun?
Even Tess and Claudia were fired up for their last Blackpool Strictly.
