The Vivienne, acclaimed for winning the first season of Drag Race UK, tragically passed away at age 32 from a cardiac arrest linked to ketamine use. At the time of death, they were preparing for a role in *Chitty Chitty Bang Bang*. Their manager, Simon Jones, aimed to elevate The Vivienne to global 'superstar' status, securing their participation in shows like *Dancing on Ice*, where they reached the finale. Jones emphasized their shared vision to shatter barriers for queer performers, which framed their professional partnership.
There's some people that you work with that you just build a really strong affinity with. Because we were so set on doing things that were gonna break down those walls, we were very close, because we had the same goal.
My goal for Viv was like, you are going to be a superstar. We're going to start by trying to get you on things like Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Hunted.
