Tess Daly Spills On Strictly Come Dancing Drama After La Voix'S Savage Red Carpet Dig!

Tess Daly’s Strictly Struggles: The Emotional Rollercoaster

Alright, LA fam, let’s spill some tea straight from the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom - it’s giving Hollywood red carpet drama with a side of SoCal sass! Tess Daly, the queen of hosting this iconic BBC One dance fest, was back in action on Saturday night (October 4) alongside her ride-or-die Claudia Winkleman for week two of the 2025 series. After kicking off the season with a star-studded launch last month, where 15 fresh celebs got paired with their pro dancers, the stakes are already higher than a Malibu cliff dive.

Tess has been holding down the fort as the couples battle it out to avoid that dreaded first elimination. But let’s be real - even with all the glitz and glam, the pressure is hitting her hard. In a heartfelt Instagram post after the live show, rocking a fierce red suit that screamed ‘Hollywood premiere,’ Tess dropped a bombshell about how tough this gig can get, especially with the first exit looming like a Santa Ana windstorm.

“Week 2 was unreal with @bbcstrictly, but I just can’t bear the thought of saying goodbye to any of our amazing cast tomorrow,” Tess shared, breaking our hearts with a sad emoji.

La Voix Steals the Spotlight with a Cheeky Dig

Now, let’s talk about the moment that had everyone buzzing harder than a Venice Beach boardwalk on a summer day. Drag superstar La Voix, paired with pro dancer Aljaz Skorjanec, opened the night with a fiery jive to Shakira’s ‘Objection (Tango),’ snagging a solid 19 out of 40. But the real showstopper wasn’t just the moves - it was La Voix’s razor-sharp wit that had Tess cracking up on live TV.

After the performance, Tess, looking like she just stepped off a Rodeo Drive runway in that red suit, complimented La Voix, saying they still know how to bring the house down. Quick as a flash, La Voix hit back with a savage burn, joking, “Thank you, and you clearly used to work at Butlin’s!” The shade was real, y’all, and the crowd ate it up as La Voix doubled down with a quip about the red catching the eye. Tess couldn’t keep it together - talk about a moment worth a Hollywood replay!

La Voix Keeps the Laughs Coming

La Voix wasn’t done serving looks and laughs, though. The RuPaul’s Drag Race alum kept the energy up, poking fun at their own dance skills compared to the other contestants. “One’s an athlete, one was doing tap in Billy Elliot, all I’ve done is JD Sports once a week, and the only tap I know is in Screwfix,” they told Claudia, proving they’ve got humor as sharp as their performance game.

This Strictly season is already shaping up to be a wild ride, with personalities like La Voix bringing that extra spice to the ballroom. It’s like watching a blockbuster unfold live - you don’t wanna miss a single episode of this dance drama.

Tess Braces for the First Goodbye

Back to Tess, though - our girl is feeling the heat as the first results show approaches. Sharing a stunning snap from the Strictly set on Instagram, she captioned it with pure emotion, dreading the moment someone’s journey ends. It’s a reminder that behind all the sequins and salsa, there’s real heart in this competition.

With week two delivering unforgettable routines across the board, the thought of losing any of these stars is hitting harder than traffic on the 405 during rush hour. Stick with us as we keep tabs on who’s safe and who’s sashaying away in the first elimination of Strictly’s 23rd series - it’s gonna be a tearjerker for sure!
