I’m very sarcastic and dry.” A singing and dancing queen, the 32-year-old entertainer from Dagenham has only been Ella Vaday for the past two years – but don’t even try to count her out. “A yummy mummy – a bit garish, a bit classy, a bit Essex-y.
I’m like a desperate housewife of Dagenham,” reveals Ella Vaday. Although she chose her drag name to reflect her “death defying and electrifying” nature, it was actually birthed from a viral video of the star in which she “accidentally” electrocuted on an electric fence. (We’re already looking forward to the lip-syncs!) Inspired by “Northern warrior women” such as Bet Lynch and Jane McDonald, Elektra says her live shows are renowned for her various stunts, such as “dropping from the sky down into the splits, bouncing into a headstand, spinning around, leaping onto the bar and leaping off into into the splits”. The second ‘Elektra’ to make a splash on RuPaul’s Drag Race this year after Down Under’s Elektra Shock, this 29-year-old Lancashire-born performer is revered for her relentless dance moves. “There are millions of European immigrants in the UK and I’m so happy to be representing them as drag queen of the immigrants!” Elektra Fence, 29 (Lancashire) “As an immigrant queen, I’m someone with a slightly different background to the other queens in the competition, but my drag was born in the UK,” she states. Sign us up! The 30-year-old is known for incorporating “puppets, live singing, a bit of dancing, projection, spoke word and lip-syncing” in her live performances (no biggie), and is an experienced graphic designer and illustrator, so you can expect her to slay the artistic-leaning challenges. Originally from Spain, Choriza May describes herself as Newcastle’s “spiciest, meatiest and silliest sausage”. I am scary, hairy and a total fairy!” Choriza May, 30 (Newcastle) “I am pushing the boundaries of drag and I’m opening people’s eyes up to a whole new art-form of transformation. As a queen who knows her way around a sewing machine, Charity is most looking forward to concocting a garment and showcasing her craftiness. Charity says her name originates from her ability to “craft stuff on a very low budget and transform the grotesque to glamourous,” while being both at the same time. “At a Charity Kase show, you can expect shock, horror, gore, glamour and maybe a little bit of vomit! You have never seen anything like me.” The Lancashire-born entertainer has been a staple in the UK drag scene for years due to her aforementioned focus on providing the spook, and has garnered a reputation for her “outlandish” aesthetic. “My drag is not entry level,” says Charity Kase. I’ve got the vocals, I got the dance moves, I got the comedy… so I really think I’m a bit of a threat!” Charity Kase, 24 (Lancashire) When asked why she should be the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar, Anubis responds: “ Well, not to brag or anything, but I do have quite a wide skill set.
Her name stems from her Egyptian heritage and is a tribute to her father, who passed away three years ago. The 19-year-old, who is partial to a gymnastics-heavy routine with a bit of jazz and musical theatre thrown in for extra measure, boasts a four octave range (!!!!) and experience providing backing vocals for “big” stars. Hailing from Brighton, Anubis describes her style of drag as “campy and wacky, silly and rather fun”.
Like the past two critically-acclaimed seasons, which have been streamed over 35 million times on BBC iPlayer, the third season of Drag Race UK will see the return of Emmy Award winner RuPaul and Seduction songstress Michelle Visage, as well as rotating panellists Alan Carr and Graham Norton.įiona Campbell, BBC Three Controller, said in a previous statement: “It’s been a huge hit for us and we love it as much as you do so we’re delighted that we can continue our relationship with World of Wonder and can bring even more Drag Race to BBC Three.”Įnough of the chitter chatter, eh?
