The Vivienne will appear in the opening episode of the new series of G'wed, it has revealed.

The Vivienne recorded a cameo role in ITV2 comedy G'wed before their tragic death earlier this month, it has emerged.

The RuPaul's Drag Race winner, 32, was discovered dead at home in Cheshire on January 5 in what police described as "a sudden death" and "not suspicious".

The Vivienne appears in a guest role in the first episode of series two of G'wed, a coming-of-age comedy following a group of schoolboys in Liverpool.

In the episode, The Vivienne playa a Liverpool nightclub owner who spots Ted's comedic potential and offers him a spot comparing their drag night.

ITV said that the scenes were recorded last summer and will be dedicated to The Vivienne and will air "with the blessing of the family honouring their special talent".

Mario Stylianides, the show's exec producer, said: "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 series two is released on ITVX on Thursday, February 6.
