Ru Paul's Drag Race UK winner Lawrence Chaney to miss live show for Ant and Dec

Scottish Ru Paul's Drag Race UK winner Lawrence Chaney will join other season's champs The Vivienne and Krystal Versace on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend.

And Lawrence has had to apologise to fans on the Drag Race UK Live tour for missing three shows on the live tour as a result.

Lawrence said: "Excited to be performing on Saturday Night Takeaway this week, but it sadly means I will be missing 3 dates of the Season 2 tour in Blackpool, Birmingham and Cardiff due to rehearsals and live show.

"I’m so sorry to anyone that has tickets for these three shows. I’m so sorry."

Lawrence who won season two and Vivienne and Krystal who won season one and three respectively announced they would be teaming up for an 'End of the Show Show' performance.

And Lawrence couldn't resist paying tribute to other 'Queen' of Daytime TV Lorraine Kelly by sporting her face on their t-shirt.

Lawrence wrote on social media: "Well, BING BANG BONG! WE've united and have been working on something super exciting and special. We’re joining @antanddec and @RuPaul this weekend for Saturday Night Takeaway! @itvtakeaway

"Us 3 winners of Drag Race UK are performing together exclusively for the first time in a spectacular ‘End of the Show Show’.

"You won’t want to miss this!!"

On seeing the t-shirt Lorraine said: "OMG THE T-SHIRT!!! I’m beyond honoured. Love you three beauties."

Ant and Dec will get a big ending this weekend with Lawrence Chaney and pals (Lawrence Chaney)

RuPaul will also make an appearance on the show as guest announcer following in the stilettos of Drag Race icon Michelle Visage.

Ant and Dec wrote: "Can't wait" as they shared the news as this weekend's show promises to be fun packed.

Michael Buble appears on the show and Top Gear and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host Jeremy Clarkson is the first Undercover victim of the new season following up SMTV co-host Cat Deeley.
