11 celebrities<\/a> have been paired up with 11 professional skaters, and the pairs have been rehearsing hard, ready to take to the rink and (hopefully) show off their skills.<\/span><\/p>\n Among them will be RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/a> champion The Vivienne, who is making history as the first drag queen to take part in the ITV show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She\u2019s already proven that she has bags of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent during her stint on Drag Race, but can she and skating partner Colin Grafton impress on the ice?<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about The Vivienne. <\/span><\/p>\n Age: <\/b>30<\/span><\/p>\n Job: <\/b>Drag queen<\/span><\/p>\n Instagram: <\/b>@thevivienne_<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Twitter: <\/b>@THEVIVIENNE<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Paired with: <\/b>Colin Grafton<\/span><\/p>\n The Vivienne grew up in North Wales and began her drag career in the clubs of Liverpool, choosing her drag name because of her love of Vivienne Westwood clothes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She was announced as the UK ambassador for RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race back in 2015, several years before the competition made its way across the Atlantic. Then, when the show eventually launched on BBC Three in 2019, she was named as part of the line-up.<\/span><\/p>\n She was a runaway success in the Snatch Game with her uncanny (and hilarious) impersonation of then-president Donald Trump, and went on to be crowned the very first winner of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK, beating Divina de Campo and Baga Chipz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Alongside Baga, she went on to present Morning T&T on WOW Presents Plus, the streaming service for Drag Race broadcasters World of Wonder. The show saw the pair reprise their Snatch Game impressions of Trump and Margaret Thatcher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In 2022, she joined the line-up for the seventh edition of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars, which saw former winners return in an attempt to earn the title of Queen of All Queens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Vivienne has also made cameo appearances in shows including Emmerdale<\/a> and medical drama This Is Going To Hurt<\/a> (where she played a drag queen working on the door of a nightclub) and also cropped up in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie back in 2016.<\/span><\/p> If anyone ever wondered what it looks like to be training 5 days a week, and doing drag con then straight back to training with 6 days to go until the live shows\u2026\u2026it looks like this \ud83d\udc47 @ColinGrafton<\/a> @dancingonice<\/a> #dancingonice<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/DPJFDZW78A<\/a><\/p>\u2014 TheVivienne (@THEVIVIENNEUK) January 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>Who is The Vivienne?<\/b><\/h2>\n
