La Voix believes drag belongs right at the heart of family entertainment and said she has been “swamped” with positive messages from viewers who had enjoyed her playful quips, especially those aimed at presenter Tess Daly.
She joked: “I’ve been lucky to be really embraced with nothing but warmth and happiness, and that’s all I want. There’s no ulterior motive — well, I mean, my own show would be nice, of course.
“I just want to play this absolutely as me — a female comedian on Strictly, and yeah, poor Tess is getting the brunt of it, but we’re doing all right.
“I just want to do as well as I can in Strictly and to work with a burly bloke like Aljaž is a nice bonus.”
Week 3 of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing is on BBC One at 18:05 on Saturday, and all episodes are available on the BBC iPlayer after broadcast.
