DESPITE a nasty fall, The Vivienne has made the final of Dancing on Ice.
The Drag Queen, who hails from Colwyn Bay and attended Rydal Penrhos, fell during their solo skate – which opened the show.
The 30-year-old entertainer, who rose to fame on BBC Three’s RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, also performed an emotional skate during 'Personal Dance week' with partner Colin Grafton to Over The Rainbow by Eva Cassidy – securing three out of four 10s.
The dancing couple received their highest score of 39.5 from the judges.

After falling face first on the ice, The Vivienne told co-hosts Schofield and Willoughby: “My knees are hurting a little bit. We are dancing on ice, these things happen.”
The contestant joins Joey Essex and Nile Wilson in the Dancing On Ice grand final.
