EOTB’s Chloe Veitch shares emotional last messages from late best friend The Vivienne just days before star’s death

EX On The Beach star Chloe Veitch had arranged to meet up with best friend The Vivienne in a heartbreaking text exchange days before their death.

Chloe, 25, had messaged the RuPaul‘s Drag Race star – real name James Lee Williams – on WhatsApp and organised a trip to stay with them.

But tragically, Chloe has been left heartbroken following the shock news that The Vivienne has died aged just 32.

Sharing her devastation on Instagram, Chloe has posted a picture of her last text exchange with her Celebrity Hunted co-star.

In the message, James had told her: “Come and stay for a few days when you can.”

Chloe replied: “Yeah, that sounds good. I’m not doing anything next weekend. I wanna come see you.”

James explained: “I’m not free until the 5th then have a week off. Just got home xxx.”

Chloe answered: “OK babe I’ll come see you for a couple of nights after the 5th.”

The reality star captioned her tragic post: “I’m gonna miss you so much James.”

She also shared a picture of herself and The Vivienne, adding: “You were the light in everyone’s life.”

Included in her emotional tribute was a clip of them both on Celebrity Hunted in 2022.

She also shared a quote that read: “If you have the chance to make people happy, just do it.

“Sometimes people are struggling silently.

“Maybe your act of kindness can make their day.”

James – aka The Vivienne – died ‘suddenly’ on the weekend, their publicist Simon Jones confirmed on Sunday night.

Simon shared: “It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne, has passed this weekend.

“James was an incredibly loved, warm-hearted, and amazing person.

“Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother, and uncle.

“They are so proud of the wonderful things James achieved in their life and career.

Simon added that no further details would be released.

Police have now given an update on James’ passing and concluded that there are “no suspicious circumstances”.

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said officers had been called to an address in Chorlton-by-Backford, near Chester, at 12.22pm on Sunday following reports of a sudden death.

The spokesman said: “Police attended, investigated the circumstances of the death of the 32-year-old man and concluded there were no suspicious circumstances.

“A file will be prepared for the coroner.”

Tributes for James, who won the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2019, have been flooding in since the shock news broke.

RuPaul’s Drag Race said it was “deeply saddened to learn of the passing of The Vivienne”.

In a post on social media, the television show said James’ “talent, humour, and dedication to the art of drag was an inspiration”.

James also competed in the same series of Dancing On Ice as former EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer, who said in a tribute that she was “lost for words” and “deeply saddened”.

“You were so beautiful inside and out and I will never forget our experiences we shared during Dancing On Ice,” she wrote.

Coronation Street star Antony Cotton said it was “unbelievably sad” and Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley referred to The Vivienne as an “incredible human” who will be missed.

James’ final social media post has now been revealed, which was dedicated to a charity supporting the LGBTQ+ community and posted on Thursday January 2.

They also made a last TV appearance as The Vivienne on BBC game show Blankety Blank on Christmas Day.
