The Vivienne was an 'authentic all-round performer'

BBC presenter Owain Wyn Evans has praised drag queen The Vivienne, who has died aged 32, as "very authentic" and an "all round performer".

"It's a really sad day for the LGBT community and for the drag community as well," he said.

"What was so interesting about the way The Vivienne performed... it was a very authentic drag."

James Lee Williams, better known as The Vivienne, starred in musical theatre and TV productions, and won the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019.
