MY NEW TV SHOW IS LIKE THE ANTI-KARDASHIAN...
Michelle Visage tells KERRI-ANN ROPER why fans will be getting the real deal on her new lockdown show
SOCIAL media may be flooded with pictures of banana bread and homebaked sourdough loaves, but don’t expect to see them feature in Michelle Visage’s new TV series.
“Doesn’t it take like eight hours to make a loaf of sourdough bread?” she asks down the phone, speaking from her home across the pond ahead of new show
How’s Your Head, Hun?
If you’ve watched her as a judge on Rupaul’s Drag Race, you’ll know the 51-yearold American star is never anything but flawlessly turned out.
But the coronavirus, quarantine and lockdown means even celebrities are having to turn their hand to all types of new things – like becoming your own make-up artist or filming your own TV series entirely from home.
And that’s exactly what viewers will see Michelle and her family – husband David and her youngest daughter Lola – doing. “I would describe it, I think, it’s like the anti-kardashian, and it’s not that I’m anti (them), it’s just that we are a regular family in regular situations, in a regular house, doing regular things but we do it with heart, we do it with love, we do it with energy and we do it with determination,” she says.
“My husband is a one man crew, he is doing the camera, the lighting, he’s doing the sound, he is literally doing all of it.”
During the course of the series, viewers will see Michelle interviewing a few other famous faces, among them Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall and This Morning’s Dr Ranj Singh.
Also in the mix is Michelle’s former Strictly Come Dancing alumni, fashion presenter Susannah Constantine.
The pair both showed off their prowess on the dance floor
