Meet the Queens interview... Vicki Vivacious

Tell us about yourself?

I'm Vicki Vivacious, I'm 36 years old and I'm from sunny Cornwall. From farmland to fabulous, I'm here to rep every single Cornish queen that is on the planet!

Describe your drag in five words.

Fun, flirty, fabulous, glamorous, and Cornish.

What’s your drag style?

I would say my drag is fifty per cent new age, fifty per cent old school and a bit Generation Ru. I've taken all of these little bits, smashed them all together and made something vivacious.

How long have you been doing drag for now?

I've been doing drag for 15 years. I know that's crazy, because I'm only 18. I fell into drag through my love of musical theatre. I moved from Cornwall to London to go to drama school and this is what happens when you get government funding and a scholarship!

Tell us some of the highlights of your career?

I have got a pretty impressive CV, let me tell you! I've worked with Little Mix, toured with Dannii Minogue, sang in the West End and I’ve also been in a girl band! I’ve literally done it all and now it’s my time to shine. I am also known as “The Forces sweetheart“ as I go around the country servicing our armed services. I’m like the Dame Vera Lynne of drag! What happens on the barracks stays on the barracks, but I leave them smiling from ear to ear!

What challenges are you most excited for?

I bleed musical theatre and glamour so bring on the Rusical!

What makes you unique?

I can sing, I can dance and I can make people laugh. I can whip up a crowd and I can also eat a pasty in less than five seconds! Now that deserves a prize right?

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 5 will air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer soon.
