The Vivienne performs out of drag on Dancing On Ice
Known for make-up, wigs and flamboyant costumes, during tonight’s Icon Week, The Vivienne danced to Beyonce’s Halo. And they decided for such a stripped back track, it was only right if the persona matched.
Performing as James, he confessed in his VT: “This is the first time I’ve ever performed as myself.”
It was clear the nerves got to him there was a stumbled during a lift with partner Colin.
But the couple got up and carried on and gave a stunning performance.
Afterwards The Vivienne confessed it had been a trying day after an injury this morning and a dodgy tummy throughout the day.
The judges told them not to worry about the stumble and mistakes as they still did brilliantly.
And the public agreed.

Patsy Palmer followed him, determined not to be in the skate off again this week.
She performed to the Spice Girls Spice Up Your life.
Despite scoring her highest score yet, Patsy only managed to complete two rotations of her solo spin, meaning her scores were deducted. However, she still managed her highest score yet.
