GUILLOTINA MUNTER, Glasgow’s first lady of drag, spills the tea on the queens’ latest exploits
The cast of Drag Race UK was finally announced last month and, as you’d expect, it wasn’t without a wee bit of drama.
The casting of London’s very own BAGA CHIPZ got people’s backs up in some quarters, many objecting to her supposedly being a Tory supporter. Snowflakes not recognising a masterclass in committed satire: Baga released an official statement saying that she is in fact a life- long Labour supporter but preferred May to Corbyn, yet would never vote for Boris Johnson. She’s already living up to being Queen of the Tabloids! Very ’ arsh dear!
Other fans criticised the perceived lack of racial diversity ( there are only two queens of colour in the cast) and made a right stooshie that there was zero Scottish representation. The star of BBC’s The Social, LAWRENCE
CHANEY, gave an interview to the press, stating that she had applied but didn’t hear back, and that overlooking Scottish gals was denying them money, honey. Fellow unsuccessful applicant REBA MARTELL, crowned Scotland’s Best Drag Queen 2018, also felt it was a poor show.
Hopefully this is just a taster. I’ll certainly be tuning into the first episode on 3 October for a full meal!
