Summary

Shangela made history on the 31st season of DWTS, becoming the first drag entertainer to compete on the show! 

D.J. Pierce, aka Shangela, joins Cheryl to talk about his time on the show, being nervous every single time he hit the dance floor, his hilarious Gleb impersonation, and the celebrity call that interrupted their chat! 

The duo also talks about the show's wardrobe, and yes, Shangela was very involved with her outfits and even took some home! Plus, they chat about their experience on "Dance Moms," how to deal with haters, and Rapid Fire Q&A!
