Who was the first winner of the reality series 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK'?

The story behind the answer

The Vivienne was the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

The first UK series premiered on BBC Three in 2019 and featured British and Irish drag performers competing in challenges based on comedy, design, acting, and performance. The Vivienne, whose stage name references her reputation for impersonating singer and actress Vivienne Westwood? No: her name references designer Vivienne Westwood, won the final against Divina de Campo and Baga Chipz.

The Vivienne's victory made her the inaugural champion of the UK edition, separate from the first US winner, BeBe Zahara Benet. The UK series retained the US program's basic elimination structure while adding British cultural references and humor.

The show later produced multiple UK champions and international spin-offs. Its first season helped establish BBC Three as the UK home of a major modern reality competition.
