The Vivienne has embraced her inner All Stars 4-era RuPaul by declaring a tie between her two favourite Drag Race winners. In a TikTok video for GAY TIMES, the legendary queen and inaugural winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK reveals: “I think it’s a tie between Chad Michaels and Bianca Del Rio.” Chad comes as no surprise – in 2019, the All Stars 1 champion made headlines after performing at The Vivienne’s wedding to David Ludford at London’s famous gay nightclub Heaven.
Viv hails Chad as the “absolute epitome” of drag and the “most amazing person ever”. As for Bianca, season six winner, The Vivienne commends her “phenomenal” artistry, calling her a “powerhouse of drag and a great cookie cutter of how to do drag properly and make your career from it afterwards”.
The star adds: “I love you both Bianca and Chad!” On 20 May, The Vivienne made herstory as the first Drag Race UK alum to compete on the US franchise when she sashayed into the werkroom for All Stars 7, which also makes herstory as the first ever winners’ season.
The seven other queens competing for the coveted title of “Queen of Queens” and the series’ largest cash prize ever at $200,000 are as follows: Jaida Essence Hall, Jinkx Monsoon, Monet X Change, Raja, Shea Couleé, Trinity the Tuck and Yvie Oddly.
