RuPaul's Drag Race UK's original winner The Vivienne will compete on the 2023 edition of Dancing On Ice.

RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne has been named as the sixth celebrity taking part in the new series of Dancing On Ice.

The show's first ever drag queen competitor joins a growing lineup that also includes EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer, ex-footballer John Fashanu, Love Island's Ekin-Su Culculoglu, former gymnast Nile Wilson and Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher.

Announcing the news on social media, Viv wrote: "I'm beyond excited to announce that I will be competing in Dancing on Ice in 2023!

"This is honestly a dream come true and I can't wait to start training on the ice.

"To be the first drag artist to take part in one of the big UK reality competition shows is truly an honour. I think it's a big step forward for queer representation on TV."

The new series begins on ITV in January.
