It's Blackpool weekend on Strictly Come Dancing this week but there'll be a familiar face missing from the dance floor.

La Voix has been advised by doctors to rest after an injury and won't be able to dance at the iconic venue.

A Strictly spokesperson said La Voix and Aljaž will automatically go through to next week.

La Voix said: "I am devastated not to be joining the rest of the cast on that famous dancefloor, but my focus now is on recovery."
