- Published
There has been some big Strictly Come Dancing news, which means that the results show looked a little bit different this week.
After picking up an injury, it was thought that La Voix would miss Saturday night before returning to the dance floor next week.
But at the start of the show, host Tess Daly told viewers that La Voix has had to leave the show completely.
Tess said that "following further advice from our medical team, we can now confirm she has, very sadly, had to withdraw from the competition."
With Strictly one star down, it meant there wasn't an elimination on Sunday night, and all votes will be carried over to next week.

La Voix has had to wave an early goodbye to the show
In a social media post, La Voix wrote that they were "devastated" to not continue her Strictly journey.
"This isn't the glittery exit I ever imagined... My spirit has wanted to keep dancing but my foot has other ideas!"
La Voix is the third star to have to pull out because of an injury this year.
Before the live shows started, TV personality Dani Dyer left after a broken ankle, and actor Stefan Dennis withdrew from an injury last month.
And it's not just contestants who have announced their exits - Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be leaving Strictly Come Dancing at the end of this series.
