The brand new cast of 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK 6.'
RuPaul's Drag Race UK has officially welcomed twelve new queens into the ever-growing Drag Race family. With hopes of becoming the UK's Next Drag Superstar, these queens are eager to show off their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to snatch the crown. The diverse mix of talent ranges from representatives from across the nation, including Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England.
How would you describe your drag?: I would describe myself as a bit of a chameleon, and I always like to add a villainess look to my drag aesthetic, but I’m really approachable – I promise! Would you say you’re competitive?: I wouldn’t say I’m competitive, but I do enter a lot of competitions, and I am now on the biggest drag competition so actually… I guess you could say I am!
How did you create the persona of Chanel?: I created the character of Chanel O’Conor as a way for me to ‘play pretend’ in a world I could never be in - being rich, being famous and being a natural ginger.
How does it feel to be a Ru girl?: I feel like I'm on a prank show and any minute now, someone's going to pop up and say, “Just joking!”. I’m so excited! Meeting RuPaul for the first time is going to be so surreal. I'm obsessed and I’m hoping she can understand this gorgeous Belfast accent. What’s the drag scene in Belfast like?: There’s not a massive drag scene in Belfast, but in our little scene is expanding with something for everyone. There are so many amazing drag queens in the area, I'm so proud to represent Belfast on Drag Race UK.
How would you describe your drag?: I serve burlesque Hollywood glamour. My influences are burlesque icon Dita Von Teese and Hollywood starlet, Greta Garbo. Hence my name – Dita Garbo.
Why do you deserve to be the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar?: I’ve got a ton of experience and knowledge that I can bring to the competition plus I would be the oldest winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK! So, watch out girls because here I come! Tell us about yourself: Hey, I’m Kiki Snatch, I'm 25 years old from London and I'm going to snatch your hearts, baby!
How does it feel to be a Ru Girl?: I’m so excited and I just can’t contain it! I remember where I was when I got the call. I was just about to start work and I heard the word ‘Condragulations!’. I couldn't scream out loud, so I did a silent scream and hid myself for a little bit, and then composed myself!
Why drag?: I’m a performer, and whilst studying Acting and Contemporary Theatre at drama school, I was doing Shakespeare, expressionism, and clowning... and so I thought why not put it all together and mix it with my love of make-up and drag. And so here we are! I’ve been doing drag for four years, and I’ve been doing it full time for two. I absolutely love it. I’ve done fashion shows, drag brunches, commercials, performances in theatres and clubs.
What would it mean to you to take the crown?: It would mean absolutely everything to me to win Drag Race UK. I have been through so much in life and just to be here is amazing. I’m going to cherish every single moment. Introduce yourself: Hello, darlings! I'm La Voix, I'm 43 and I’m from Stockton on Tees. I am a seasoned diva and I cannot wait to get going!
Do you have time to list some of the famous names you’ve worked with?: Some of the names I've worked with are Mickey Rooney, Bobby Davro, Claire Sweeney, Les Dennis, Pamela Anderson, David Gest, Cilla Black, Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders, Zoe Ball, Nigella Lawson, Lulu… did I mention Claire Sweeney? Jane MacDonald, Rylan, Ant and Dec, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Piers Morgan...
Are you nervous about anything in the competition?: I’m not the best dancer and all of the other queens are probably going to be death dropping and splitting all over the main stage. Meanwhile, I’ll just be sat in the corner with a cup of tea quietly praying. How does it feel to be a Ru girl?: It feels absolutely crazy to be here. I've been doing drag for about ten years and I absolutely love it. Drag is the best! I feel like I’m finally here at the top of my game and looking absolutely correct.
What would it mean to you to take the crown?: I believe I deserve to win because I’ve got great style, I’m a fab performer, I’m a lot of fun and nobody else does it quite like me. It would be fabulous to receive validation from RuPaul, the judges and all of the Drag Race fans out there!Introduce yourself: Greetings one and all! My name is Marmalade, I am 24 years old and I am the crown jewel of Cardiff drag.
Where does your drag name come from?: My original drag name was Marmite, mainly because I really liked Marmite. But one day, I accidentally said I was called Marmalade. I realised it sounded much better so I stuck with it. Believe it or not, I've never actually had marmalade. I have no idea what it tastes like!
What have been your career highlights?: Drag has opened so many doors for me. I’m a trained contemporary dancer, and I have performed on tour with Becky Hill, traveled all over Europe, and even performed at Glastonbury! It was an amazing moment to perform to such a big crowd. And now, I’m on Drag Race UK!
Why do you deserve the crown?: I deserve to take the crown because I’m bringing the island flavour, the sauce and a little something special to the competition that y'all have been missing out on! The world is ready for Rileasa to be crowned the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar. Let’s go! Introduce yourself: G’day mate! I'm Saki Yew and I'm 33 years old.
