Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne has visited London LGBTQ venue G-A-Y while taking part in Channel 4’s Celebrity Hunted.
The drag queen along with Chloe Veitch from Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle took part in the show which is in aid of Stand Up to Cancer. The celebrities are tasked with evading law enforcement for two weeks.
However, a teaser for the programme shows The Vivienne and Chloe being closed in on by the hunters after going to G-A-Y owner Jeremy Joseph for help.

After visiting friends in northeast London to get a granny makeover the pair take the Tube to Charing Cross where they meet up with Heaven’s owner, Jeremy Joseph, a close friend of The Vivienne’s.
“You’ll be safe in literally one minute,” Jeremy says as he escorts The Vivienne and Chloe to the flat.
Hilariously, one clip shows the hunters perusing The Vivienne’s Instagram and musing, “So, The Vivienne looks to be pretty big in the drag scene…” Yeah, she’s pretty big. Clearly the Hunters aren’t big Drag Race fans…
The Vivienne hopes that using a vacant flat above Heaven owned by Joseph is the key to evading the hunters. However, making a phone call from Heaven’s phone to her partner David could be the pair’s undoing as it alerts the hunters to their location. From there the hunters link them to Joseph and the flat.
“Calling your husband on day one. Is she stupid?” asks one hunter at the group’s HQ. At the same time, The Vivienne begins to wonder how soon it’ll be before the hunters find them at the flat. Ringing the doorbell, the two see the hunters outside…
Celebrity Hunted is available to stream on All 4.
