The drag queen will appear in the Yorkshire dales as herself as the soap celebrates Pride for the first time next month.
She said: "I am so happy that I will be part of Emmerdale's first ever Pride.
"My role is to officially open the event on the stage! It's great for Emmerdale to be doing this and I'm delighted to be part of it.
"We're making that little bit of history for all the gays and the LGBTQ+ community and it's just an absolute honour." She added.
Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks said: "We're absolutely thrilled to welcome The Vivienne to Emmerdale to help our villagers celebrate this year's Pride event in style.
"The Vivienne will add a dash of her own inimitable wit and fabulousness to the show and will certainly raise a few eyebrows in the process."
Emmerdale airs from Monday to Friday on ITV and Virgin Media at 7pm.
