Monday’s episode of This Morning brought an unexpected twist that had viewers buzzing across social media. With regular presenter Sian Welby taking a well-deserved day off after a jam-packed weekend at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball, former Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix stepped into her showbiz slot — and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.
La Voix, real name Chris Dennis, appeared alongside Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, delivering the latest celebrity headlines with charm, energy, and a cheeky sense of humour that had Cat Deeley laughing throughout the segment. From the very first moment, it was clear that La Voix was in her element, seamlessly slipping into the world of daytime television and showing a side of themselves that fans hadn’t seen before.
Why Sian Welby Took the Day Off
Sian had enjoyed a busy weekend, hosting Capital FM’s Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium. She was on duty all day, moving between backstage interviews and the crowd, ensuring everything ran smoothly. With such a full schedule, a day off on Monday was well-earned, giving viewers the chance to see a fresh face in the show’s entertainment segment.
La Voix Brings the Latest Showbiz Headlines
During their appearance, La Voix covered the biggest stories making waves in the celebrity world. Highlights included the heartwarming news that Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury welcomed their second child, updates on Boyzone’s reunion concert at Emirates Stadium, and the glamorous wedding of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner. Their delivery was confident, playful, and full of personality — a perfect fit for daytime TV audiences looking for a lighthearted escape.
Fans Respond With Excitement
The social media reaction was swift and overwhelmingly positive. Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their delight. One user wrote: “Can we have La Voix on everyday please?” Another chimed in: “Cat is loving La Voix and I’m loving it too! She’s bringing out her fun, cheeky side which we need to see more of on This Morning.” A third added: “La Voix was so iconic reading out the showbiz gossip in the segment!”
The comments suggest that audiences are not only entertained but also eager to see La Voix return for more appearances, proving that their charisma resonates well beyond the Strictly dance floor.
From RuPaul’s Drag Race to Strictly Come Dancing
La Voix first captured the public’s attention on the 2024 series of RuPaul’s Drag Race, quickly winning fans over with wit, talent, and stage presence. In 2025, they became a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing, impressing audiences week after week with flawless performances. Unfortunately, an injury forced them to leave the competition just before the show’s iconic Blackpool week, cutting short what had been an inspiring journey.
Following Strictly, reports suggested La Voix was being considered for a hosting role on the show after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped down. While they reportedly impressed BBC executives, the role ultimately went to Emma Willis and Josh Widdicombe, with former professional dancer Johannes Radebe joining as a roving reporter.
Despite missing out on this opportunity, La Voix’s appearance on This Morning demonstrated that daytime television is more than ready to embrace their energy, charisma, and unique personality.
The Verdict: Daytime TV’s New Star?
Monday’s segment proved that La Voix is more than capable of holding their own on a major national broadcast. Their playful delivery, authentic charm, and genuine enthusiasm won over both the hosts and viewers alike, suggesting that this isn’t a one-off success. Whether it’s delivering celebrity news or engaging with the audience, La Voix has all the ingredients to become a regular favourite on daytime television.
As fans eagerly hope for more appearances, it seems clear: La Voix is a rising star who has already stolen hearts, and audiences can’t get enough. Could this be the start of a new era for showbiz segments on This Morning? Only time will tell — but one thing is certain, viewers are already hooked.
