Strictly Come Dancing Fans Shocked by It Takes Two Revelations After La Voix Exits Blackpool Week

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left flabbergasted after they discovered the truth about the BBC spin-off show It Takes Two.

Tuning in on Tuesday evening, viewers were left confused as host Fleur East introduced each dance for the coming week at Blackpool. 

The presenter included La Voix in her roundup, who she revealed would be dancing a samba, however earlier in the day it was confirmed the star would not be dancing in Blackpool after sustaining an injury. 

The BBC revealed the Drag Race star has been left ‘devastated and heartbroken’ after being advised by doctors to rest and focus on recovery.

The blunder highlighted that It Takes Two clearly isn’t always live. As Fleur began the segment she said: ‘La Voix and Aljaz will be Samba-ing to this…’ as Love Is In The Air by John Paul Young played. 

In light of the announcement earlier in the day, a message then flashed on the screen reading: ‘Sadly, La Voix will not be dancing this weekend due to injury. But in line with the rules will receive a bye into next week.’

Meanwhile, Fleur added: ‘La Voix will be hoping her dance gets some love from the judges on Saturday.’

Representatives at Strictly confirmed to The Daily Mail that while the majority of It Takes Two episodes are filmed live from Elstree, Tuesday’s show is pre-recorded on Monday shortly after Monday night’s live show has aired.

Live episodes are referred to as being live in their broadcast, while a pre-corded show like Tuesday’s is not. 

Unaware of this, fans were left shocked as they took to Twitter to share their surprise at the blunder. 

They penned: ‘They specifically say that #ItTakesTwo is live, but they just had to put a message on screen with the fact that La Voix isn’t dancing, so they clearly aren’t live when that was hours ago?!’;

‘No La Voix mention at the start of tonight’s #ItTakesTwo – that’s how you can tell it’s not LIVE on a Tuesday’;

‘So #ItTakesTwo isn’t live either? Is the Saturday show #live? Is the whole thing real or is it just one big green screen #AI thing??’;

‘That’s what you get from weirdly prerecording Tuesday’s #ItTakesTwo. Fleur gets into a right mess about what’s happening’;

‘So #ItTakesTwo was pre-recorded before 1pm today then ? #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing’; ‘Am I the only person who thought that #ItTakesTwo was live?!?!!’.

However one fan seemed to have some insight as they explained it is live four days a week, but not on Tuesdays. 

They penned: ‘It’s only LIVE Monday’s Wednesday’s Thursday and Friday. Never LIVE on Tuesday I don’t know why.’ 

Earlier on Tuesday the BBC confirmed La Voix had been forced to drop out of the upcoming Blackpool special after suffering an injury. 

Speaking in a statement, the star, 45, real name Christopher Dennis, said: ‘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.’
