The Vivienne's close friend Baga Chipz calls for RuPaul's Drag Race to be axed after drag queen's tragic death


Baga Chipz has called for RuPaul's Drag Race UK to be scrapped and replaced with 're-runs of The Vivienne' to honour the late star.

The drag queen, 35, starred in the first season of the BBC reality competition alongside The Vivienne in 2019, and she thinks the best way to pay tribute to the series one winner, who died on January 5th aged 32, is to just air clips of them going forwards. The Viv, who used they/them pronouns, had been one of the breakout stars of the UK version of RuPaul ’s Drag Race, winning the first series in 2019 with a successful combination of honesty, catty putdowns and an excellent impersonation of Donald Trump.
