Dancing On Ice shares touching tribute to former contestant The Vivienne after the drag star's tragic death aged 32 - but fans are left unimpressed
The RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner, who came third when they competed on the ITV skating show in 2023, died suddenly on January 5 at the age of 32.
Presenters Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern opened Sunday's Dancing On Ice with a tribute to The Vivienne, whose real name was James Williams - but viewers were less than impressed. RuPaul, 64, who discovered the Welsh-born performer, real name James Lee Williams, on season one of his hit BBC show, appeared visibly emotional with his best friend Michelle Visage by his side, who wore a mini dress with 'The Vivienne' emblazoned across it. Amid the furor, RuPaul posted a throwback video on Instagram this Wednesday, showing him pretending to slap Sanchez during an acting challenge on Drag Race.
