La Voix Names Dani Dyer as Major Competitor in Strictly Come Dancing

The upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing is generating excitement among fans, particularly with the revelation that performer La Voix sees fellow contestant Dani Dyer as a significant threat for the coveted Glitterball trophy. La Voix, known for her role in RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, speculated that Dyer may be intentionally downplaying her dancing skills, hinting at a more formidable performance than expected.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK, La Voix expressed her belief that Dani Dyer is “keeping things up her sleeve.” She noted, “I think she’s a very good dancer, by the looks of it. And I think she was pretending to get things wrong so she could, you know, show a bit of a journey.” La Voix’s comments suggest that Dyer has the potential to surprise viewers with her abilities when the competition kicks off.

Dani Dyer, a familiar face from Love Island, has previously shared her background in dance. In her 2019 book, she mentioned attending weekend theatre school as a child, stating, “I’m not a bad singer but it was the dance stuff I loved more – jazz, tap, ballet, modern.” This foundation may give her a competitive edge as she prepares for the ballroom.

Star-Studded Line-Up and Predictions

The new season of Strictly Come Dancing, premiering on September 20, 2025, features an impressive lineup of celebrities. Alongside Dyer and La Voix, the series includes Olympian and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, actress Alex Kingston, presenter Ross King, and TV personality Vicky Pattison. Additionally, Ellie Goldstein is making history as the first model with Down syndrome to grace the cover of British Vogue.

La Voix has highlighted Goldstein as a standout contestant, not just for her dance skills, but also for her “passion and energy.” She believes that Goldstein will bring a vibrant presence to the competition, saying, “I think she’s going to be really fired up every single week.”

As the premiere approaches, fans are left eagerly anticipating the debut performances of these talented individuals. With high expectations and the potential for surprises, Strictly Come Dancing promises to deliver another thrilling season filled with dramatic dance moments and unexpected rivalries.
