Vicki Vivacious, who competed in series 5 of RuPaul's hit show in the UK , shared a statement on his Instagram story to update her 27,000 followers. Posting on Thursday, August 8 to Instagram Stories, Vicki said: "Hello everyone! Sorry for the radio silence.
On Saturday, I was involved in a serious crash, and currently resting at home after short hospitalisation. "I can not go into to many details for legal reasons, but I am alive and recovering well. The biggest thank you to all close friends and family that have taken care of me.
" Vicki added: "If I haven’t contacted you, that means I will be with you as planned." In a second post, the drag queen posted a photo of her bruised leg which had several cuts. “My body is currently a gorgeous shade of yellow.
Torn muscles and ligaments but no breaks, thank goodness.” The self confessed "Cabaret queen" , from Cornwall, impressed fans across the nation when she was cast as one of 10 contestants on the latest series of RuPaul's UK spin-off. Despite getting off to an impressive start, with a challenge win under her belt, she was eliminated in episode six after the Snatch Game.
Speaking to Cornwall Live , Vicki said she was able to showcase her beloved Cornwall as much as possible on the show and hopefully big up the drag queen community in the county. She added: "There's not enough representation for drag queens in Cornwall so hopefully people got to watch the show and be inspired by it. "I know I didn't win it but to work with RuPaul every day has been invaluable.
RuPaul is such a legendary drag queen. He's the best in the business. He's so knowledgeable and is someone who really knows his craft.
"I felt like I was receiving a master class from him every day and that's invaluable." Vicki added: "He hand picks every contestant on the show so it means he saw something special in me in the first place which is amazing. It's something I will never forget.
" A few weeks before Vicki’s shocking crash Drag Race USA stars Morphine Love Dion and Kaos made headlines for a separate car accident in Los Angeles, California. According to a report from Entertainment Weekly , the incident – which left one person dead – occurred on the 10 freeway but both Morphine and Kaos are recovering after treatment..
