While famous in America, Michelle Visage was catapulted to becoming a UK household name following a stint on Strictly Come Dancing, which she cites as the only television competition she ever wanted to compete in.
Now, the 51-year-old is gearing up for what she dreams of, an All-Stars season of the show, adding that former contestants have also agreed to take part, should the BBC come calling.
Chatting exclusively to Daily Star Online, the RuPaul’s Drag Race star revealed how she’s coping on the West Coast and her time strutting her moves on Strictly.

Reflecting on her time on Strictly, the It Takes Two singer revealed that competing on the programme will forever be one of her career highlights.
With fans taking to social media to suggest a Strictly Come Dancing ‘all-stars’ series, Michelle expressed she’d love to come back in an ‘all-stars’ capacity.
She shared: “Yes yes yes, I have not shut up yammering about it, I keep telling the execs this is definitely me, Dr Ranj is on board too.

“Now is the time, we the people that have already done it, know the system, we know what to do – you don’t have to worry about teaching us anything new because it’s the easiest thing to do.”
She continued: “Even if it’s not this year, it definitely needs to be done because you could do it shorter.

“You don’t have to worry about Blackpool, you could just do it – instead of 15 or 14 couples, have eight couples and make it shorter but it’s definitely something I want to do
“Maybe not now ’cause I can’t leave the country but as soon as they go ‘Michelle Visage can come over,’ they can announce it.”
“We can’t do anything can we, I’m lucky we have a little garden area so if times get tough I can definitely go outside and have a seat.”

The mum-of-two spoke candidly about her thoughts on the lockdown and the message delivered by Boris Johnson, saying: “That fabulous message your leader told you made it so clear [stay at home], he laid it out clearly,
“You know at the end of the day, I think they should get on the telly and say, ‘listen, this is f****d, it’s sh*t, don’t do anything, don’t go anywhere we’ll tell you when you can.’
“In the meantime go and get yourself a brew, sit down, watch the telly.”
The 51-year-old singer recently launched her own BBC Three show, How’s Your Head, Hun? featuring guests such as Jade Thirlwall and Susannah Constantine.
How’s Your Head Hun? launches on BBC Three/iPlayer at 6am, Tuesday, May 26.
