The ex-husband of The Vivienne, the first-ever winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, said his “heart is shattered” following the star’s death at the age of 32. “My heart literally sank when I got the call,” Daniel Ludford wrote on Instagram. “This man changed my life so much from the day we first met in August 2017 in Gran Canaria!! We literally clicked straight away and we knew we was going to be together for along time!!” Ludford added that the couple were together for six years and divorced last year. “You will always always have a place in my heart,” he said. Along with appearing on two seasons of Drag Race, The Vivienne, whose real name is James Lee Williams, competed on the British show Dancing on Ice and was the Wicked Witch of the West in the West End production of Wicked. The performer’s death was announced Sunday by their manager. No cause has been released.
