Warning! This article contains spoilers for the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race
UK series two.
It’s fair to say that Thursday nights are not going to be the same for the foreseeable future following the conclusion of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
The show that has kept so many of us going through the third national lockdown came to an end with a final that was full of shade, serves and surprises. The four finalists – Bimini Bon Boulash, Lawrence Chaney, Tayce and Ellie Diamond – each laid down their own verse for RuPaul’s track A Little Bit Of Love before putting on a popstar-worthy performance for Ru, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton.
For many, it topped off what has been a magnificent series that has firmly cemented the franchise’s place in the UK TV landscape... 1. PREACH.Put #DragRaceUK on
