The Vivienne has a cameo appearance in the very first episode of the new series that sees the regular characters play a visit to a Liverpool nightclub. The Vivian – aka performer James Lee Williams – is seen in the editio as the nightclub owner who spots Ted’s comedic potential and offers him a spot comparing their drag night.

This episode was filmed last Summer and will be dedicated to The Vivienne and will air with the blessing of the family honouring their special talent.

Mario Stylianides, Exec Producer of G’wed:

“All the cast and crew were so saddened by the passing of The Vivienne and the first episode will now be dedicated to them. The Vivienne was a trailblazing icon and we were truly honoured when we found out they were a fan of G’wed and equally excited when they agreed to appear in the first episode of the new series. They will always be in our hearts and forever part of the G’wed family.”

G’Wed returns on Thursday 6th February with the second series dropping simultaneously on ITVX & ITV2
