A bold truth about holiday TV: surprises, star power, and a dash of festive chaos are set to collide on BBC's screens next week. La Voix, the RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 6 runner-up and the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing contestant, is returning to the BBC for a very special Christmas appearance. She will co-host Morning Live with Helen Skelton on Tuesday, December 16, delivering a festive edition that promises a fresh take on Christmas magic.
The broadcaster described the episode as embracing a new kind of Christmas sparkle, and La Voix herself teased a lively, high-energy broadcast. “To be sitting on the Morning Live sofa is nothing short of fabulous,” she quipped, promising plenty of excitement, cheer, and a hint of mayhem. Skelton echoed the sentiment, noting that La Voix’s energy and warmth will bring a welcome jolt of fun to Britain’s mornings during the holidays.
Throughout this year’s Strictly season, La Voix and her dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec both finished in the 30s in the competition standings. Even before her injury-led departure, the entertainer publicly floated ideas about stepping into Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman’s shoes in future seasons, signaling her ongoing aspiration to expand beyond the ballroom.
Since her Strictly exit, La Voix has kept busy, releasing a Christmas single and securing a major musical tour, with announcements confirming her as an early participant in the 2026 Strictly Live Tour across notable UK venues in January and February. Meanwhile, Amber Davies addressed fans after a recent results show, urging kindness in response to online reactions.
For viewers, Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays on BBC One, with the companion show Strictly: It Takes Two on weeknights on BBC Two. Both programs are available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Morning Live runs weekdays at 9:30 a.m. on BBC One.
