The Vivienne proved once more why she’s Britain’s reigning drag superstar at the 2020 Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards powered by Jaguar on Tuesday (1 December) as she treated thousands of viewers to a performance of her latest single ‘You Spin Me Round’.

The Vivienne, who also presented the Honorary Gay Award to Paloma Faith during Tuesday night’s virtual ceremony in London, channelled her hero Pete Burns as performed her fresh house dance take of Dead or Alive’s 1985 classic.

 

Speaking to Attitude on the red carpet ahead of her performance, the Liverpudlian queen revealed which musical icon she’s love to collaborate with.

“My dream duet would be Cher”, The Vivienne enthused. “I mean, I’ve got her tattoos all over me. I know it’s reaching for the stars, but if you don’t go big, you’ll go home!

“Cher’s my absolutely icon, along with Pete [Burns]. Cher’s an absolute icon – if I can look that good at 74, I will be happy!”

She added: “Pete had this phase of looking like Cher, and so I think maybe that’s the reason I love them both!

“Or maybe I just love plastic surgery”, she laughed. “Not that I’ve had any!”
