La Voix will join the Eurovision line-up this weekend as the United Kingdom’s spokesperson, becoming what the called the country’s first Eurovision “spokesqueen.” She will deliver the UK jury results live from Salford during the Grand Final, which airs on One and iPlayer at 8pm on Saturday 16 May.
La Voix said she was “absolutely over the moon to be announcing the UK jury scores at Eurovision 2026.” She added that it was “the one night where sequins are en masse, key changes are compulsory, and absolutely anything can happen – so naturally I feel right at home,” before joking: “I’ll do my best to behave... but no promises!”
The booking gives the a familiar Eurovision face at a moment when the contest is carrying unusual weight. Graham Norton has been the UK’s Eurovision commentator since 2009, and this year’s coverage line-up also includes Rylan Clark and Sara Cox. Last year, Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the UK’s official spokesperson for the Grand Final but later withdrew because of a busy work schedule.
La Voix arrives in the slot with a television résumé that matches the show’s camp and spectacle. She was a finalist on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 6, has appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, turned up in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie alongside Dame Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders, finished fourth on Graham Norton’s Queen of the Universe and was most recently seen on Strictly Come Dancing.
Her turn comes against the backdrop of a bigger split around Eurovision 2026. In December 2025, the European Broadcasting Union voted for new rules aimed at stopping governments and third parties from disproportionately promoting songs to influence voters, and said the contest should proceed as planned with additional safeguards. After that decision, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Iceland said they would not take part in Eurovision 2026.
The disagreement has left the contest exposed to the same political pressure it has tried to keep outside the arena. RTÉ said Ireland’s participation “remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there, which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk,” while the said of the rule changes: “This is about enforcing the rules of the EBU and being inclusive,” La Voix’s job is narrow, but it lands in the middle of that wider argument: she will read the UK vote live, on a night when the contest is still trying to look like pure entertainment and cannot quite escape the politics around it.
