As a long-time connoisseur of the enchanting world of dance and performance, I must admit that the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special has never excited me quite like this year’s edition does. The addition of the electrifying and captivating Welsh drag queen, Tayce, promises to bring a sparkle, glamour, and energy that will surely light up our screens on Christmas Day.
Keep an eye on the dance floor during Strictly Come Dancing, for this Welsh dragon is set to claim the Christmas title!
This Christmas Day, the Strictly Christmas Special will be even more dazzling as Tayce has been added to the show’s cast.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but wonder: Will Kylie Minogue gracefully glide her way to triumph with her captivating dance moves, or could her performance be a memorable, yet unexpected twist like the iconic ‘death drop’?
Here’s everything you need to know about the star before she hits the dance floor.
Who is Tayce?
Age: 30
Instagram: @itstayce
Job: Drag Queen
Tayce Szura-Radix is a 30-year-old professional drag queen and model from Wales.
In 2021, she gained significant recognition as a competitor on the second installment of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. Notably, this particular season had to be pushed back because of the COVID-19 pandemic during filming.
Throughout her stint on the program, she gained widespread popularity for her sharp intellect during confessional segments and her stylish catwalk attire.
Even though Tayce found herself in the final two on four separate occasions, she managed to advance all the way to the finale. Her impressive lip-sync performances consistently eliminated her competitors, earning her the title of a “lip sync master.
Ever since then, Tayce has served as a brand ambassador for both Coca-Cola and Absolut Vodka, walked the ramp in Jean-Paul Gaultier campaigns, and hosted the MTV series Queeriphany alongside other stars, discussing their journey of self-discovery and coming out.
She uses she/her pronouns while in drag, and he/him pronouns out of drag.
What has Tayce said about joining Strictly’s Christmas Special 2024?
“I cannot wait to sleigh on the Strictly Ballroom floor,” Tayce said at the announcement.
My partner and I will be dancing with great significance, as I am thrilled and deeply honored to represent the Drag community by becoming the first Drag artist on Strictly Come Dancing!
I aim to make both my Drag Race and Welsh supporters proud! I’m ready for everything shiny, fabulous, and sparkly!
Tayce hinted at Strictly’s It Takes Two that the question might be whether they (Tayce) are prepared for Fleur East, without revealing any details.
She simply replied, “It’s none of your concern; that’s my secret to keep.” But rest assured, I’ll be delivering the excitement, the allure, the inexplicable charm, the intensity, and the style!
Who is Tayce’s professional dancer on the Strictly Christmas Special 2024?
Tayce will be partnered with Kai Widdrington for the Strictly Christmas Special.
Since the year 2021, Kai has been part of the professional team for Strictly Come Dancing, having previously danced on the Irish adaptation of Dancing with the Stars for a span of three years.
During his competition tenure, he was teamed with three well-known celebrities – making it to the finals alongside AJ Odudu in 2021, but unfortunately had to drop out due to an injury.
In 2022, he finished in 15th position alongside Kaye Adams, and improved to 7th place in 2023 with Angela Rippon. Interestingly, he was among two professionals who didn’t get a celebrity partner during the 2024 series.
As a movie aficionado, let me tell you, I’m absolutely blown away by Kai. Not only is he an exceptional, dedicated instructor, but our camaraderie off the dance floor has made our partnership on it all the more special. It truly enhances the bond we share while dancing together.
What song are Tayce and Kai dancing to on Strictly’s Christmas Special 2024?
During the Christmas special, Tayce and Kai are set to perform the song “A Hundred Degrees” by Kylie Minogue.
However, it’s not been revealed what type of dance they will be doing.
