Strictly Come Dancing: Michelle Visage To Give Us The Vogue Moment We’ve Been Waiting For

Get ready, Strictly Come Dancing fans, because Michelle Visage is about to gift us with the moment of the series.

The songs and dances for the show’s upcoming Blackpool special have been revealed, with the RuPaul’s Drag Race judge and her partner Giovanni Pernice set to perform a Street/Commercial routine to Madonna’s hit Vogue.

Before becoming known for her work alongside RuPaul, Michelle was a member of the New York ball scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s (an era which was recently highlighted in the Ryan Murphy drama Pose).

During that time, Michelle was taught to vogue by ball fixture Willi Ninja, telling Dazed in 2015: “I could out-vogue any female who came for me, and most of the boys too.”

Strictly stars, it sounds like you’d better beware…
