RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 8: Update

Mama Ru’s latest batch of UK queens: bloody hell, they’re a shady lot and no mistake. Don’t hold back, bitches!

No sooner had the dust settled on the KY Kelly v Paris Baby furore, than there were yet more kerfuffles. Even the brilliantly named Anita Piss (pictured below) was getting in on the in-fights, and she’s a pacifist. I think she’s been underestimated, our Anita.

Luckily, mad skills prevail. Coral-Hole aced the Snatch Game early doors, by not one, but two impersonations of both Kath AND Kim. Bold. “Look at MOI, look at MOI”. We did, and we liked what we saw. She was hilarious, nailing both the mannerisms and bogan style. So much denim, so little time.

After a departure by Ma Danni X, Tequila Thirst was next to “sashay…away”. Who’s the next out? Who relies on their looks? (Cough… Paris Baby)…And whose wig is parched? Only time shall tell. A shame the BBC have axed this. Make the most of it while it’s here, Squirrel Friends.

Tonight on BBC 3 at 10 pm, and available through BBC iPlayer.
