Strictly star La Voix joins Morning Live as guest presenter after throwing hat in ring for top job
After weeks of hinting that she wanted Tess Daly's job…
La Voix has announced that she’s joined Morning Live, weeks after she quipped she was sending in her CV for the presenting role on Strictly Come Dancing.
Earlier today (December 8), the drag icon announced the news on social media. Sharing a picture of the BBC daytime show’s logo, she announced that she was joining the Morning Live family as one of its presenters. She’ll host a show alongside long-running host Helen Skelton next week.
Strictly star La Voix to host Morning Live
La Voix said: “Guess who @bbcmorninglive are letting look after Morning Live next week! Me & @helenskelton for a morning packed with seasonal features, surprises and plenty of festive cheer, as Morning Live embraces a new kind of Christmas magic.
“Make sure you Tune in to @bbcone on 16 December 9:30am for a festive edition of Morning Live you won’t want to miss with Me & Helen!!!!”
The BBC also shared: “Setting the stage for a show where anything can happen, viewers can expect sparkle, festive mischief, and the kind of joyful chaos only La Voix can deliver. Fresh from the glittering ballroom of Strictly Come Dancing, La Voix will bring her signature wit, warmth, and unstoppable energy to the Morning Live studio.”
Helen’s also excited. She said: “I can’t wait to welcome La Voix to Morning Live. She’s full of energy, full of heart, and just the right amount of chaos for the festive season. It’s going to be huge fun, and I know our audience are in for a treat.”
Viewers think it means she’s a shoo-in for Strictly host
After her early exit from Strictly due to injury, and her constant jokes about taking host Tess Daly’s jobs, La Voix fans now think she’ll definitely be handed the Strictly hosting job next year.
“This is basically a job interview for something bigger next year, I can feel it in me waters!” said one.
Over the weekend, La Voix was at the Strictly studios. She teased fans with a series of pictures with Tess and co-host Claudia Winkleman and asked: “What was I up to tonight with my favourite girls?” “Work experience with your mentor?” came one reply.

Tess and Claudia’s Strictly exit
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced they would be leaving the series at the end of the year midway through the 2025 run.
And, with just two live shows and the Strictly Christmas special to go, it surely won’t be too long before bosses announce who will replace them.
