Rutger published: La Voix Reflects on Her Journey from Drag Race to the Ballroom

La Voix on RuPaul's Drag Race UK and what's ahead

Nearly a year has passed since season six graced our screens, and La Voix, that British drag dynamo, still relishes every moment from her stint on RuPaul's Drag Race UK. As she reminisces, she wonders, could she make a comeback on that iconic stage?

Last season, La Voix enchanted audiences and clinched runner-up, just shy behind Kyran Thrax. Her portrayal as Liza Minnelli in that unforgettable Snatch Game? Pure magic, and it really made her shine.

From Drag Race glory, La Voix dances onto Strictly Come Dancing

Fresh off Drag Race success, La Voix now twirls her talents onto this year's Strictly Come Dancing stage. In a warm interview, she shared her anticipation about hitting that dance floor and hinted at her plans swirling ahead with a new tour.

"I owe a huge thanks that goes out all around," she confided. "Drag Race was an out-of-this-world journey that took me from theater fame right onto TV screens."

How Drag Race changed life beyond spotlights

But it wasn't just career growth; Drag Race transformed her personal life too, especially her relationship with her dad. In a heartwarming episode, her 78-year-old father, Richard, spoke about unwavering love and acceptance, touching many hearts. Since then, he has joined her on tours and at Pride events, becoming a cherished part.

"It's truly brought us closer as a family," La Voix shared. "We've had chats we never had before. People with supportive parents shouldn't take that love lightly. Sharing that moment with my dad was unforgettable, even if I didn't see it coming on Drag Race."

La Voix as Liza Minnelli

Fans still rave about La Voix's incredible take on Liza Minnelli from Cabaret, a performance that secured her spot as a top queen.

Thinking about a Drag Race return?

So, what about stepping back onto Drag Race? La Voix paused. "I did pretty well, so why gamble on that again? Maybe not," she chuckled, still leaving a door ajar.

"After Strictly, I'll be touring with my dance show, doing all those kicks and splits," she laughed, hinting with, "I'm an entertainer forever. Never say never! The future? It's wide open, with plans maybe taking me around Europe, across America, and down under in Australia."

La Voix's joyful mission

La Voix aims high, using her craft as a beacon. "The world's often a tough place, and we need humor. If I can sprinkle joy through entertainment, then I'm all in. I just want smiles and laughter all around. That keeps me going."

As she gears up, tackling new adventures, fans eagerly wonder where her journey will lead.
