EastEnders to feature popular Strictly Come Dancing star in upcoming Walford Pride storyline ...Middle East

Strictly Come Dancing favourite La Voix is set to make a cameo in EastEnders.

The performer and singer, who found fame on ITV's star-studded drag competition Queens for the Night and was a runner-up on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, became a household name when she competed alongside professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec in the dance contest last year.

Although she was forced to withdraw due to a fractured metatarsal, La Voix was still given opportunity to grace Blackpool's famous Tower Ballroom, and earlier this year, was the UK's Eurovision spokesperson.

Now, Radio Times can confirm that she will make a special appearance in an episode of the BBC soap next month, after being booked for a Pride gig at The Prince Albert.

Pride in London takes place on 4th July, so La Voix's spot in the Albert Square spotlight will air within the same week.

This isn't the first time that the residents of Walford have celebrated their LGBTQ+ community - in 2019, a critically-acclaimed instalment centred around an event hosted by Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth).

Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) received support from her family at her first ever Pride, while Callum Highway (Tony Clay) battled with guilt surrounding his sexuality. At the conclusion of the episode, his brother Stuart (Ricky Champ) enacting a brutal hate crime on Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), after learning of their secret relationship.

While La Voix is heading to soapland, former EastEnders star Lacey Turner is joining the cast of Strictly.

The Stacey Slater actress was the first of the celebrity line-up to be confirmed for the forthcoming 24th series, which will be hosted for the first time by a trio of new presenters; Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe.

Speaking of her new project, Turner said: "I am so excited to being making my way to the dance floor this year to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing!

"I am a huge fan and can’t quite believe I will be taking part and not watching at home this year! I look forward to meeting everyone and learning a new skill!”

She'll be competing against presenter, actress and Love Island contestant Dani Dyer, and the singer and Neighbours icon Delta Goodrem.

They'll be joined by professional dancers Dianne Buswell, Amy Dowden, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Aljaž Škorjanec, Jowita Przystał, Johannes Radebe, Nancy Xu, Kai Widdrington, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Vito Coppola, Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon.
