Meanwhile, Siva Kaneswaran told Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain: “I’m overall very excited, after this I’m going to do training and meet Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.”
Drag queen The Vivienne said: “A drag queen has never performed before so we’re not quite sure how it will work yet,” because drag is “very restrictive”, as reported by the Mirror.
