North East star La Voix reveals they're after not one but two top TV jobs
The North East Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix has revealed on national television that they have their eye on two job TB job.
Drag Race star La Voix, who hails from Stockton-on-Tees, was a guest on the ITV panel show Loose Women yesterday.
Blackpool’s Coleen Nolan headed up the panel, alongside fellow panelists Myleene Klass, Gloria Hunniford and Jane Moore.
The topic of conversation was of course La Voix’s time on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The 45-year-old, whose real name is Christopher Dennis, had to pull out of Blackpool Week last week due to an injury, and was initially given a bye to the next round of the competition.
A few days later however, during the live show, Tess Daley announced that Le Voix had to withdraw from the entire show due to the severity of the injury.
Speaking to the Loose Women panel yesterday, La Voix revealed for the first time that the injury in question was that she fractured a metatarsal (any of the tiny bones in the foot) due to the repeated movements required for her week seven Foxtrot.
Moving on to chat about another Strictly revelation - the eventual depature of Tess Daley and Claudia Winklemen as presenters - La Voix hinted that she wouldn’t mind that job at all.
Asked where La Voix was when Tess and Claudia announced they were leaving, the Stockton-on-Tees born star said: "I was actually in the job centre, which was really handy timing!
“It was just put up on the notice board and I thought ‘never! This is my chance!”
She then went on to issue a friendly warning to the Loose Women panel, turning to them and joking: "If any of you are leaving, I'll be on that stool.”
Coleen replied “You’d be perfect” - a kind comment she probably regretted 30 seconds later!
La Voix continued to ask the panel: “And have you any plans on leaving? No? No? Because I just subtly was going to... stand that there.”
She then held up a sign that read "I'd be really good at her JOB!!" pointing to our Lancashire star.
A laughing Coleen responded: “You actually wold be brilliant. i’d like to see you take over Strictly to be honest.”
Seeming to brush over the mild threat, Coleen then returned to it before ushering in the ad break, pleading to La Voix: "Please don't take my job!".
In response La Voix said: "I won't take your job, don't worry. You need the money, we can see! We can have whip around afterwards, get you something in your colour.”
Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1 at 12:30pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
