She explained, “For my personal song, I’m going to skate on the rainbow.” As a kid, I really fell in love with The Wizard of Oz because he made me feel like anything was possible.

“I knew it was different, but I didn’t know what it was, but seeing Dorothy, who knew there was a bigger world out there than Kansas, definitely hit me.”

Vivienne, who is partnered with professional skateboarder Colin Grafton on the show, explained how it wasn’t until she moved from Wales to a big city that she started to feel comfortable in her own skin.

Being surrounded by like-minded people allowed her to grow into herself and embrace her true identity.

She said: ‘I left at 14 and moved to Liverpool when I was 16 and quickly found my tribe.

‘It was a huge sigh of relief that these people were exactly like me. And then I saw drag queens and thought ‘wow, I really am in Oz now!’

“It’s a crazy full circle from seven-year-old James dreaming of being Dorothy to now being able to perform this song on ice.

“When people see this performance, I hope they feel transported to this happy place and whatever they are going through, they know that beyond the rainbow there is something fabulous waiting for them. And you are a very special person who can overcome anything.
