Michelle Visage was a finalist on Celebrity Big Brother 15. Originally a member of the band Seduction, she has since become known for her many years of work with drag queen RuPaul, most recently as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race.
During her time on her show, Michelle became known for her rivalry with fellow housemate Perez Hilton, as well as for her friendship with controversial journalist Katie Hopkins. She survived eviction until finale night on Day 31, at which point she received the least of the vote to win from the public, placing 5th and becoming the first finalist to leave the house.
