La Voix was injured earlier todayCredit: PA La Voix will not perform on Saturday night because of an injury, but host Fleur East told fans she would be performing to John Paul Young’s Love is in the Air.
The announcement played out after It Takes Two was pre-recorded before La Voix was forced to pull out.
The BBC added a message on-screen, which read: “Sadly La Voic will not be dancing this weekend due to injury.
“But in line with the rules, will receive a bye into next week.”
It sparked fury with fans, with one writing: “They specifically say that #ItTakesTwo is live, but they just had to put a message on screen with the fact that La Voix isn’t dancing, so they clearly aren’t live when that was hours ago?!“
A viewer wrote: “Am I the only person who thought that #ItTakesTwo was live?!?!!“
Another added: “Erm thought #ItTakesTwo was live ??? The La Voix news broke 3 hrs ago !!??? Typical.”
Someone else added: “No La Voix mention at the start of tonight’s #ItTakesTwo – that’s how you can tell it’s not LIVE on a Tuesday.”
The RuPaul’s Drag Race star, 45, broke the news to Strictly fans on social media – confessing they were devastated about being forced to pull out.
A statement from the star read: “It is with immense sadness that I have to withdraw from this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing shows in Blackpool.
“Due to an injury, I’ve been advised that I’m unable to perform, and my heart truly breaks knowing I won’t be dancing in such an iconic venue.
“Aljaž and I have worked incredibly hard, and we were so excited to share our routine with everyone.
“I am devastated not to be joining the rest of the cast on that famous dancefloor, but my focus now is on recovery.
“I’ll be cheering on all the amazing couples this weekend.”
