The BBC has announced that a Strictly Come Dancing legend will take on a pivotal role at Saturday's Eurovision Grand Final. Each year, a different celebrity is selected as the UK's representative to announce the nation's jury scores during the final stage of the Song Contest.
Last year, popstar Sophie Ellis-Bextor assumed the responsibility after Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa withdrew, while in 2024, Absolutely Fabulous star Dame Joanna Lumley held the honor. Now, it has been confirmed that drag superstar La Voix will declare the results, following rumors that she might be a contender to co-host Strictly with Emma Willis.
La Voix expressed her excitement: 'I'm absolutely over the moon to be announcing the UK Jury scores at Eurovision 2026. It's the one night where sequins are en masse, key changes are compulsory, and absolutely anything can happen – so naturally I feel right at home. I'll do my best to behave… but no promises!'
The Eurovision Grand Final will air on Saturday night on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
