Strictly Come Dancing fans have demanded that bosses bring Tayce Szura-Radix back for the 2025 series after winning Wednesday’s Christmas special.
The 30-year-old made history after becoming the first ever drag queen to win the competition.
Tayce, who shot to fame on the second series of RuPaul‘s Drag Race UK in 2021, danced the Cha-Cha with professional dancer Kai Widdrington.
The Welsh performer was awarded four tens from the judges Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Obuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke.
Strictly viewers were so impressed with Tayce’s performance and want her to compete in the 23rd series next year.
One wrote on X: ‘I’ve got a feeling Tacye will return next series and if they were I’d personally like her to dance with either Kai again or Vito.’

‘@bbcstrictly Well done Tayce! Come to “sleigh”! We need her in the next series please!’
A fourth simply said: ‘@its_tayce has to be in the main show on 2025, that was fabulous!’
It wouldn’t be the first time that has happened on the show.

The pair placed seventh on the 22nd series.

‘2024 Christmas champs !!!

The star placed second on the series.

Speaking about being Strictly’s first drag artist contestant, Tayce said: ‘It feels correct, pushing boundaries, pushing the envelope baby’.

‘I think there’s gonna be a lot of pressure on me with that as well.
‘But I like pressure, it makes you work harder’.
