RuPaul ‘may step down’ from hosting Drag Race UK after being left devastated over The Vivienne’s death
DRAG Race legend RuPaul could quit the UK version of the show following The Vivienne’s tragic death, according to reports.
The Vivienne, real name James Lee Williams, died at home at the weekend aged just 32.
The much-loved drag act shot to fame in 2019 as the first winner of RuPaul’s hit reality TV show.
Williams’ death has left the show host devastated and contemplating his future on the programme.
A friend of the star told the Mail: “This has come like a bolt out of the blue for Ru. The Vivienne was one of his brightest stars and everyone knows what a soft spot he had for them. He has been left absolutely devastated by their passing and is now weighing up his own future.
“Ru is now seriously considering standing down from hosting the UK franchise, which will always be associated with The Viv.”
They added that RuPaul had already voiced concerns over his busy filming schedule and was aware he “wasn’t getting any younger”.
The US star shared a picture of him with The Vivienne after learning of their death and wrote: “With a broken heart, I join the entire Drag Race universe in mourning the loss of The Vivienne—an incredibly talented queen and a lovely human being.”
The news of Williams’ death was announced by their publicist, Simon Jones, on Sunday evening.
Mr Jones wrote that Williams, who was born in Wales and later moved to Liverpool, was an “incredibly loved, warm-hearted and amazing person”.
He added that Williams would be remembered for their “immense talent” and “the light they brought to every room was astonishing”.
Williams performed as the Wicked Witch of the West in a UK and Ireland tour of The Wizard Of Oz musical and reprised the role in the West End at the Gillian Lynne Theatre last year.
They were due to be back on tour next month performing in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical in the role of the Childcatcher.
Speaking in 2019 ahead of competing in the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, The Vivienne explained their name saying: “I love Vivienne Westwood and when I moved to Liverpool everyone used to call me Vivienne as I was head to toe in Westwood.”
The Vivienne said of their drag style: “My style is like a Scouse wife who has come into money, she moved to LA and blew it all and then she’s had to move back to Liverpool.”

Who is Rio Ferdinand’s brother Anton and when will he be on Dancing on Ice 2025?
Ex-footballer Anton Ferdinand is getting ready to trade his boots for skates as he joins the 2025 lineup of Dancing on Ice.
The pundit will be gliding alongside an EastEnders legend and Olympic gold medal winner in the line-up. Here’s what we know about him.
Who is Anton Ferdinand?
Anton Ferdinand is a former professional footballer best known for playing centre-back at the likes of West Ham, Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers.
Born on February 18, 1985, in Peckham, his parents, Janice Lavender and Julian Ferdinand, hail from Ireland and St. Lucia.
A product of the West Ham United academy, Anton joined the club at nine years old and signed his first professional contract in 2002.
Over his career, he also played for clubs like Bursaspor, Antalyaspor, Reading, and Southend United.
He represented England at the under-21 level on the international stage before retiring in July 2019.
Post-retirement, Anton has become a familiar face in sports media, appearing on talkSPORT, Sky Sports, BT Sport, and IMG.
He also fronted the BBC One documentary Anton Ferdinand: Football, Racism, and Me.
His time at QPR saw him caught in a high-profile controversy involving alleged racist abuse from Chelsea’s John Terry, a claim Terry denied and was later cleared of in court.
Speaking about his documentary, Anton said: “I know some people don’t like the fact players and coaches take the knee but for me that’s a positive because it keeps the conversation going.
“We won’t have eradicated racism — not in our lifetime, I don’t think.
“We’re nowhere near where we want to be but there’s less racism on the streets than there used to be.
“I’d like to get to a place, in my lifetime, where racial slurs are no longer used on social media or in the stands, because people no longer feel comfortable to do it there.”
Anton is an athlete ambassador at Right To Play, an NGO whose mission is to use play to empower vulnerable children to overcome the effects of war, poverty, and disease.
In 2025, Anton is gearing up to hit the ice as a contestant on the seventeenth series of Dancing on Ice.
Is Anton Ferdinand married and does he have children?
Anton married his other half, Lucy, in a private ceremony in 2016.
The former Sunderland star shares Flynn, 11, Lilah, 7, and Farron, 2, with his wife.
I’m in a new phase of my life since retiring from football and one of the things I’ve missed about playing is the structure it gives you.

Speaking about joining Dancing on Ice, he said: “I decided to sign up for the show because it’s a challenge first and foremost.
“I’m in a new phase of my life since retiring from football and one of the things I’ve missed about playing is the structure it gives you.
“Dancing On Ice will give me that focus but I’m also doing it for my daughter because she loves dance and performing arts.
“My son always had my football to shout about so this will give my daughter and me something to share.”
Anton, known for his work tackling issues of racism in football, is the seventh celebrity to be announced for the skating series by ITV.
Is Anton Ferdinand related to Rio and Les Ferdinand?
Anton comes from a footballing family.
His older brother, Rio Ferdinand, starred for West Ham and Manchester United and even captained the England national team.
His cousin Les is a former England international, and another cousin, Kane Ferdinand, plays for Maidenhead United.
Anton showed his defensive skills early on, following in Rio’s footsteps.
In January 2006, he made history alongside his brother, becoming the first siblings to win the Premier League Player of the Month award—Rio had earned the honour before him.
Rio was one of the first to reply when Anton posted the news on social media that he was joining Dancing on Ice, telling fans: “So far out my comfort zone but I’m here for it!! Let’s gooooooooo.”
An excited Rio typed back: “Boooooom!”
