The Vivienne is the first ever drag queen to take part in the ITV skating competition.

She was also one of four competitors who appeared in the special Christmas edition of The Great British Sewing Bee that aired on New Year's Eve 2020. She added: "I used to DJ every Saturday night years ago when the show was on. I can't even touch my toes so there is no risk of me kicking myself in the head! She watched and was trying stuff herself. You can see she’s got a good work ethic." Stopping is not my strong point." The Welsh TV personality chose her stage name because she was known for wearing lots of Vivienne Westwood clothing. Dancing on Ice returned to screens last Sunday (January 15) for a brand new series with a whole new host of famous contestants. "One of my friends Jennifer Ellison did it and I keep seeing that video of her kicking herself. In May 2015, she was crowned the UK Ambassador of RuPaul's Drag Race before appearing on the debut series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK back in 2019. The UK version was launched after the show's huge success in the US, and The Vivienne was crowned the show's first ever UK winner. Following her win The Vivienne embarked on a tour across the UK alongside her fellow Drag Race cast members and, in the same year, she married her husband David Ludford.

Five celebrities and their partners will take to the ice during the ITV skating competition on Sunday.

To open the show, the professional ice skaters performed a dazzling routine to a rendition of Dancin’ Fool by Barry Manilow while dressed in tuxedo-style outfits. The pair dressed in fiery outfits in red, orange and black, finishing the routine in comedic fashion with Packard throwing a cup of water in Harriott’s face. Elsewhere in the episode, comedian Darren Harriott gave an energetic routine to Fireball by Pitbull with his skating partner Tippy Packard which secured them a score of 26.5. The 25-year-old actress and her skating partner Sylvain Longchambon kicked and dipped their way to a score of 26.5. Dressed in a black curly wig and sparkly black outfit in homage to the US singer, the drag queen performed twists and a dramatic lift to score 28.5 points. Dressed in a pale blue sparkly dress, the 40-year-old actress glided her way through the routine to Say You Love Me by Jessie Ware alongside her partner Mark Hanretty
