While The Wizard of Oz was The Vivienne’s first theatre role, she was no stranger to TV and was able to successfully build a career in television after RuPaul’s Drag Race, appearing in a range of programmes including Hunted, Emmerdale and the Great British Sowing Bee.
Over Christmas, The Vivienne appeared on a celebrity special of BBC’s Blankety Blank.
In 2020, the Vivienne starred in a six-part series The Vivienne Takes on Hollywood on BBC Three.
The show saw the drag queen document her travels to Los Angeles in order to make a music video and was complete with her classic Northern humour and zingy one-liners.
Not all drag race contestants and winners have been able to build such a successful brand around themselves despite their humour and flawless looks, which is testament to how The Vivienne’s personality shone through in all her work.
