A month after the sudden death of reality TV star and performer The Vivienne, Dancing on Ice star Colin Grafton paid a touching and subtle tribute to his late friend on social media.
Williams, who grew up in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, before moving to Liverpool, won the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and came third in the 2023 edition of Dancing On Ice alongside his pro partner, Colin.
Area coroner Victoria Davies said: "Given the unnatural cause of death identified on post-mortem testing it is appropriate for me to formally open the inquest into the death of James Lee Williams.".
Dancing On Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern addressed the cameras to pay tribute to the late drag performer last month.
The heartfelt gesture comes as fans continue to process the loss of The Vivienne, a star who rose to fame after winning RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019.
