The Vivienne talks Dancing On Ice injuries

Lorraine then asked her about her Dancing On Ice injuries.

The Vivienne said: “I’m quite lucky. Because when I’m skating in drag, underneath all this is three inches of foam on each side of my hips.

“It gives me the illusion of Jessica Rabbit. So I fall and I bounce straight back and I’ve got a crash helmet on.”

The Vivienne added: “I’m all sorted; I bet all the other celebs are jealous.”

Talking about her time on the show so far, she called it “one of the most amazing experiences” that she has ever done.
