La Voix will be joining the Eurovision line-up this weekend as the United Kingdom’s spokesperson.
After captivating audiences on Strictly Come Dancing, La Voix will make history as the UK’s first Eurovision ‘spokesqueen’. She’ll be announcing the UK jury’s points live from Salford during tomorrow’s (Saturday, May 16th) Grand Final, which will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer starting at 8pm.
La Voix will be the next in a long line of famous faces to represent the brand, following in the tradition of stars like Dame Joanna Lumley, Catherine Tate, Nigella Lawson, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
Ncuti Gatwa, known for his role in Doctor Who, was originally chosen to represent the UK at the Grand Final, but had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts with his work.
La Voix expressed her excitement about revealing the UK jury votes at Eurovision 2026, saying she’s ‘absolutely over the moon’ to be involved.
It’s that one special night for glitter, dramatic musical shifts, and total unpredictability – which means I feel completely in my element! I’ll try to be on my best behavior, but I can’t make any guarantees.
La Voix is a popular performer who gained recognition as a finalist on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 6. She’s also appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and had a role in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, working with Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders. Additionally, she finished fourth on Graham Norton’s Queen of the Universe.
You may recognize La Voix from her recent appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, where she charmed audiences with her humor and captivating performance style.
This year’s Eurovision coverage will include commentary from Graham Norton, who has been the UK’s commentator since 2009, alongside Rylan Clark and Sara Cox. La Voix is also joining the team.

The Eurovision Song Contest has received a lot of criticism for letting Israel compete this year, given the current war happening in Gaza.
Several countries are choosing not to participate in this year’s contest because the organization in charge, the European Broadcasting Union, decided against banning Israel from competing.
In December 2025, the EBU held a meeting where members voted to create rules preventing governments or outside groups from unfairly pushing certain songs to sway voting results. However, they did not vote on whether Israel would be allowed to participate.
The EBU announced that most of its members decided another vote on whether to participate wasn’t necessary. They confirmed the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will go ahead as scheduled, with extra safety measures added.
After that announcement, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Iceland all stated they wouldn’t be competing in Eurovision this year.
Ireland’s public broadcaster, RTÉ, has decided not to participate in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, stating that it doesn’t feel right given the tragic loss of life and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which continues to endanger civilians.
The BBC, the UK broadcaster for the competition, stated it backs the EBU’s decision. In a statement, they explained it’s about upholding the competition’s rules and ensuring inclusivity.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 final will take place on Saturday 16 May 2026.
