NORTH Wales drag star The Vivienne has shared their amazing weight-loss during their time on Dancing on Ice.

Drag queen The Vivienne, real name James Williams who hails from Colwyn Bay and attended Rydal Penrhos School, skated through to this weekend's semi-final after scoring 35.5 for their car racing themed performance on Sunday.

In personal dance week, this Sunday, The Vivienne and Colin will dance to Over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy.

Ahead of the show, James shared that they had lost more than two stone during the intense training for the show.

They tweeted: "2 and a bit stone down (30 pounds) I will carry on skating forever! Best shape I’ve ever been in and feel so comfortable in my own skin."

 

It’s been an eventful series so far – it’s only a couple of weeks ago that Carly Stenson revealed she’d had to ‘pop it back in’ after her shoulder came out during a skate-off with partner Mark Hanretty. Despite her bravery, she was sent packing.

Then last week, during the semi-final, a double elimination took place, which means only three competitors are still standing.

They’ll be desperate to impress during both their own routines and their take on Torvill and Dean’s Bolero before Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield announce the winner.

Last week, The Vivienne secured a score of 35.5 for their car racing themed performance. 

The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner incorporated a chequered flag into their routine with professional partner Colin Grafton.

The Vivienne said the performance “paid homage to Mother Ru,” referencing the opening credits to the drag race competition programme, which sees drag queen RuPaul dressed in a racing suit and waving a chequered flag.

 

 

Following the upbeat performance to Pump It by Black Eyed Peas, Banjo, 34, said: “Of course you make a flag look glam! It looked incredible.”

The semi final takes place on ITV on Sunday from 6.30pm.
