RuPaul's Drag Race UK star The Vivienne has swapped her heels and the runway for ice skates and the rink, as she makes her Dancing on Ice debut this weekend.
Whether she can transfer her performance skills to the competition remains to be seen, but she's teased that she's got a 'hack' to help her deal with injuries that her co-stars are jealous of.
Appearing on yesterday's (January 2o) Lorraine, the Drag Race UK series 1 winner said: "I'm quite lucky because when I'm skating in drag underneath all this, there's three inches of foam on each side of my hips to give me the illusion of Jessica Rabbit. So if I fall, I bounce straight back up.

"And I've got a crash helmet on so I'm all sorted. I think all the other celebs are jealous."
The Vivienne and professional partner Colin Grafton didn't start rehearsing with her in drag, but have added bits of her outfits as they've gone on. One week, depending on the song they are handed, the Queen stated that she might "strip it back" and perform out of drag.
"This is one of the most amazing experiences I've ever done. I never thought that... I started doing drag at 16, I thought 'that's my lane', that's what I'm gonna be doing for the rest of my life.
"I've been skating for three months and I'm thinking when this show ends I wanna make skating part of my life.

"I'm gonna fight for a drag on ice tour, because I wanna continue doing this. Can you image at Christmas? All the rinks, all the drag queens, all the gorgeous men. Fab!
She also said that she feels like she's in "the best shape of [her] life" and has lost about two stone in rehearsals so far.
Dancing on Ice airs Sunday nights on ITV1 and ITVX.
