Michelle Visage has become hugely popular here in the UK since her starring turn on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 - especially since pretty much everyone has now become obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race!

However, it sounds like Michelle is keen to cement her place in the hearts of the British public - and what better way than to break into Soapland?

Speaking to the Metro, the 52-year-old announced that she's desperate to get on EastEnders - and even has a role and a storyline in mind, revealing that she'd love to be Kat Slater's long-lost cousin!

"I keep trying to say I’m her American cousin from New York," she confessed. "I came in to shake s--- up. I keep asking them for me to come. Eventually, hopefully, we can do it."

Mich affirmed that she's not interested in a long-term stint in Walford, and added that she'd much rather stay for a short time, wreck the joint and then leave: "I’m not looking for a permanent slot. Just like a week’s story arc – we need a little bit more than a cameo. Let me come in from New York, let me wreck s--- and then leave."

Well... We're sold!
