The Vivienne defended by fans as message addressing 'attack on drag' on Dancing on Ice receives 'abuse and hate' after she suffers nasty fall

She's breaking down barriers on Dancing on Ice as the first drag artist to compete in the hit ITV skating contest, and fans were upset for The Vivienne as she suffered a nasty fall. The Vivienne tumbled during Sunday night's semi-final and viewers said it was "such a shame" she had made the mistake during the celebs' solo skate-off to Paul McCartney's song Live and Let Die.

The routine, without the pro partners, appeared to get off to a good start until The Vivienne fell to her knees and crashed to the ice, sliding into the barrier. @lupone_shiri tweeted: "I feel very bad for The Vivienne I must admit, that wasn’t a nice fall #DancingOnIce."

@soph_louise95 gasped: "Me and my family all went 'aghhhh' at the same time when The Vivienne fell! That was a shame!" And @SeanieQuigley27 said: "I enjoyed the skate battle well done as always to all five semi finalists :) and I’m glad The Vivienne is okay after that fall on the ice."
