00:00Hey, racers, it's time to meet the magical new cast of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
00:18Ding dong!
00:19Hello, my name's Page Three, I'm 28, I'm from Surrey, and I'm complete and utter silly cow.
00:33Hello, how are you doing? Let's do this thing. It's RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 7!
00:39I come from a musical theatre background, started dancing when I was about 12 years old,
00:43and I've been in shows such as Cats, Kinky Boots, Chicago,
00:47but I've put the work in to make sure that my name is on the drag map in the United Kingdom.
00:53When page three's on the booking list, you're going to get a show.
00:57My drag aesthetic, I take a lot of inspiration from Pamela Anderson.
01:01I'm quite naked a lot of the time.
01:03Oh my god, if I'm not getting a little wolf whistle as I'm walking down the streets,
01:07I'm doing something wrong.
01:10I'm a geek. Star Wars, I love that.
01:14Mine is Page Three, strong with the force I am.
01:16People would probably think I would be Queen Amandala, but to be honest with you,
01:20I make so much noise, I'd probably be Chewbacca.
01:24Now listen, you've been turning those pages, and now it's time to stop turning,
01:30because you're on page three, baby, and I'm ready to go to, to, to, to the moon.
01:36Do what I do best and take this crown.
01:38It's season seven, honey. Let's get mad.
01:47Hello, divas. My name is Tarius Mongardi.
01:55I am 27, and I am the titan of Brighton.
01:59Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
02:01Girl, I got bars, I got flow, I got rhyme, I got rhythm.
02:05I am basically the Megan Thee Stallion of drag, by way of East Sussex.
02:08Listen, I love the girls from Brighton, but I came here to do what they couldn't, which is wind.
02:14I might be a seaside girl, but I'll never coast.
02:18In my world and in my life, I'm serving pure main character energy.
02:23I am the motormouth Maybel of drag.
02:25Listen, I don't do cardio, but I can run my mouth. How about that?
02:28I am nothing if not a hustler.
02:32In the eight years that I've done drag, I've really conquered every part of the industry.
02:35There's truly nothing that I cannot do, because if there's a fee, there's me.
02:40I mean, 40, there's nothing I'm scared about on this competition.
02:44I just know I've got the goods.
02:46I really came from nothing.
02:47I've taken all the coal of my life and turned it into diamonds,
02:50and there are going to be diamonds on that crown that I'm getting, innit?
02:53It's season seven, innit?
02:54I need to stop saying innit.
02:56I'm the powerhouse of colour.
02:57I might even be trade of the season.
02:59Look at me arms.
03:01Now, I sound like a prick, but honestly, girl, you can't help but fall in love with me.
03:04Even if you don't want to, you're gonna, all right?
03:07Kiss, kiss.
03:10This has gone nice, isn't it?
03:11Help!
03:17E-haya.
03:18It's me, Sally TM.
03:19I'm 27, and from South Shields by way of Newcastle.
03:23Howe, the lad.
03:24South Shields is famous for...
03:27Oh, oh, Jade Thurwell has a bar there.
03:33She's from South Shields.
03:34And also Cheryl Cole as well.
03:36E-haya.
03:37If you're here, just bang the fucking table.
03:39I can't say that kind of...
03:40Sorry.
03:42My real job, I'm an animator by day.
03:45In the corporate world, I feel like I don't fit in.
03:49I'm like Red Bull, but like visual.
03:52Drag queen, you know what I mean?
03:53I've been doing drag for 10 years.
03:57So I can sing, I can dance, I can rap.
03:59I'm also great at lying.
04:01If you can't lie to yourself, how the hell can you lie to anyone else?
04:04Can I get an event?
04:04Oh, man.
04:06I love to make my own stuff.
04:10I feel like that is my best skill set.
04:14So if there's a stone challenge, if there's a ball, give it to me.
04:17Bring it on.
04:18The scariest thing for me is probably a challenge where I have to move my body.
04:22The best movement that I have is a bowel movement.
04:25So we'll see how that goes.
04:26Why should I win RuPaul's Drag Race UK?
04:30Because I am an original.
04:31No one does it like Sally TM.
04:37Okay.
04:39Bye.
04:44I have a favourite bone, but I can't talk about it.
04:53Greetings, people of the United Kingdom.
04:55I'm Bones.
04:56I'm 25, and I'm known as the witchy boho queen of Soho, London.
05:03At a Bones show, you get the full heavenly fantasy.
05:06I run a very tight ship, and it is very hard to keep a lot of loudmouth drag queens under
05:10control, but I managed to do so.
05:12They just know not to cross me.
05:17Everyone always thinks I'm a bitch.
05:18I give kind of Wednesday Addams vibes.
05:20I can break a smile sometimes.
05:22I think I'm like an old camp queen when I'm in the shower, like the stuff that I sing to
05:31myself and everything.
05:32But then when I'm on the streets, I'm like...
05:33I wouldn't say I'm shady.
05:38I would say that I'm honest.
05:39So take that as you will.
05:40I hate flat human hair, ugly shoes.
05:43I hate when you can see people's panties.
05:45If this is your job, then treat it like a job girl.
05:48Like, give us the full fantasy.
05:49I just can't wait to show my looks.
05:52I really cannot wait to show you what I've concocted in my head, because bitch, they're
05:56good.
05:56Really, really good.
06:00I know my powers in drag, and soon so will you.
06:04I am the UK's next drag superstar.
06:08Come into my trance.
06:10Listen to me.
06:12Okay, we're done.
06:12You're under.
06:15This voice garners me a lot of attention, and I can do a lot with it.
06:19Woo-hoo, pass.
06:20Woo-hoo.
06:25Look at this.
06:27I know you're gagging, and I'm gagging too.
06:31Hi, everyone.
06:32My name is Naing Bella.
06:33I'm a Camerian diva.
06:35I'm 25 years old, and I'm from London.
06:37Hi, you're good.
06:39When most people see me for the first time, they're like, oh my gosh, she's like a black
06:42Barbie.
06:42She's like a life-size brat star.
06:44Well, duh.
06:45And I'm a doll in real life as well, so everything just seems correct.
06:47So I did study musical theater for about three years, and my biggest takeaway from that
06:52is that I definitely cannot sing.
06:54But you know what?
06:55That's actually okay, because you cannot be perfect at everything, and I think if I could
06:58sing, I'd be a bit too powerful.
07:00If you come to a show of mine, there'll be a little ah, a little ah, a little kick, maybe
07:05a trick if I'm feeling, you know, gutsy.
07:07I look fab.
07:09So yeah, whole package.
07:11With the exception of nudity and animal exploitation, I'd practically do anything for the sake of
07:15fashion.
07:15I glued a bunch of cigarettes to my head, just made a moment, and it was really weird,
07:19especially because I have asthma.
07:20So having live lit cigarettes burning was like, I'm going to die.
07:24Oh my gosh.
07:26The biggest misconception about me, honestly, I wouldn't know.
07:29I don't really care about other people's opinions, really.
07:31Like, I just demean if you don't like it, or I'll suck your mom.
07:35But no, I love everyone.
07:39My fantasy, I'm seeing it now.
07:41RuPaul is there.
07:42She's announced my name.
07:43She's in tears.
07:44The mascara is running.
07:45The queens, they're jealous.
07:46They're vexed.
07:46But eat it, bitches.
07:47And I'm there in a gorgeous, gorgeous crown.
07:50I've seen the fantasy.
07:51I know you see it too.
07:52Let's just make it happen.
07:57Ah!
07:57Ah!
07:59Ah!
08:01Hey, everyone.
08:05My name is Elle Vosk.
08:06I'm 22, and I am the Belle of Belfast City.
08:09Woo!
08:11I like to say that the four-year career I've had in drag
08:13is the equivalent of someone else's 10-year career.
08:17I do it all.
08:18Brunches, karaoke, lip-syncing, singing, raves, club nights, murder mysteries,
08:23hen parties.
08:24Oh, hen parties.
08:25It's like Russian roulette.
08:26You do not know what you're walking into.
08:28Woo!
08:28I'm from West Belfast.
08:33Half the time, people do not know what I'm talking about.
08:35Like, boke.
08:37Debeese.
08:37Blocked.
08:38Which just means get really drunk.
08:40Sounds like a great night.
08:41So I'm still in uni at the minute.
08:43I'm studying fashion and textile.
08:44To be honest, I'm the worst student ever.
08:46Oh, yeah, I've literally just failed a module before coming here.
08:49I just focus all my energy into drag.
08:51Mum and Dad, it was all worth it.
08:54It's got me here.
08:56My whole life is a performance.
08:58When I was younger, I did a lot of arm drum.
08:59I went from the glam of Chicago to being a leper in Jesus Christ Superstar.
09:03And do you know what?
09:03This is the versatility that the judges are wanting.
09:09It would mean the world to me to be the UK's Next Strike Superstar.
09:13So bring it on.
09:15Oh, boy's crack.
09:16Take two.
09:18Bring it on.
09:20Here's pasty.
09:25Boom.
09:30Hello, my lovelies.
09:31My name is pasty.
09:32Not patsy, not pasty.
09:33However, very tasty.
09:34I'm 30 years old.
09:35I come from Cornwall.
09:36But now I sell myself all over the streets of East London, darling.
09:40Nearly run out of breath there.
09:42I need to calm down.
09:43I'm an asthmatic.
09:44And I need my pump.
09:46Oosh.
09:48So the name pasty obviously comes from the fact that I'm from.
09:50Cornwall.
09:51However, I originally was pasty Palmer.
09:53You know, after Bianca from EastEnders.
09:57However, I decided to drop the Palmer because everyone just wanted me to dress up with her
10:01all the time.
10:02And I'd rather look like this.
10:04Mwah.
10:04So I'm actually known as the Sausage Roll Queen.
10:07I did a video a few years ago.
10:09I was in a duvet that had a little logo on.
10:11And I did a little burlesque number as a sausage roll.
10:14Went viral.
10:15Kylie Minogue even saw it.
10:16She liked it.
10:18So I used to love singing.
10:20I was a musical theatre gay, but then I hit puberty, my balls dropped.
10:24And then that's when I think my love for lip syncing came into place.
10:29I really enjoy putting on, like, full cabaret shows.
10:34It's more about character stuff, to be honest.
10:36I love sketch shows.
10:37Sketch shows are my favourite thing.
10:39Catherine Tate, please message me.
10:40I absolutely love you.
10:42Imagine a crown on top of a pasty.
10:46Like, that's literally amazing.
10:47I'm here to bring energy.
10:49I'm here to bring joy.
10:51The world needs pasty.
10:52Let's go!
10:53Give me a blow, boys.
11:03Hello, everybody.
11:04My name is Selects Addiction.
11:06I'm 26 years old and I'm from Leeds, West Yorkshire.
11:09The BBC is about to get a lot sexier.
11:11Oh, really sorry, guys.
11:15I think you're going to need to blur most of this out.
11:17The nips are slipping today.
11:19Should we just get them out?
11:20Three, two, one.
11:22Blur this, guys.
11:23Woo-hoo!
11:25Don't be so rude.
11:27I actually have a home for my breasts.
11:29They live in my parents' garage and they're very well looked after.
11:32I've been an amazing mother.
11:34I've been doing drag for about seven years.
11:36I've been sewing for three years now.
11:38Fully self-taught, so bring me a design challenge.
11:41Any night with Selects Addiction is going to be a messy night.
11:44A lot of people do tend to be intimidated by me,
11:46but when they meet me, they realise I'm a goofy, stupid cow
11:48and I don't take myself too serious.
11:51I've floated down from above and I'm here to make you chuckle and laugh.
11:55And I'm ready.
11:56Let's laugh.
11:56Come on.
11:57Laugh.
11:59Oh, sod off.
12:00I have come to this competition with one thing on my mind.
12:03To win Drag Race and get that money and get that title
12:06would be life-changing.
12:07I want to make the biggest breasts the world has ever seen.
12:10So big that we could all sleep on them.
12:13Wouldn't that be nice?
12:15Get buckled in,
12:17because Selects Addiction is gracing your screens in three, two, one.
12:24My nipples didn't even pop out.
12:25Yay!
12:25Yay!
12:30My name is Chaiti Grande, I am 32 years of age and I am all the way from exotic London.
12:45So I am mixed heritage English and Thai and I love to celebrate that because you know what?
12:49Variety is the spice of life.
12:51I have been doing drag for just over four years, but prior to that I worked in the creative
12:57industries as a writer, as a stylist, as a PR manager, you name it, I've done it all.
13:03Two words.
13:04Control.
13:05Freak.
13:06I'm approaching this as if I'm giving a company conference.
13:08Just a little bit of prep here and there.
13:10There's like a 150-page document with all my different research notes.
13:13There's a whole PowerPoint presentation with my different looks.
13:16And you know what?
13:16That's going to serve me well.
13:17Hello.
13:18If I'm noticing the girl's standards slipping, I will be calling the manager.
13:27I'm not a Karen, I swear, I swear.
13:30I want this so bad.
13:32I love dancing.
13:33I love performing.
13:34I love fashion.
13:36I'm approaching Drag Race UK with a 12-step business plan and it's not going to fail.
13:40There's always the quiet ones you've got to keep your eyes on.
13:45Let's go.
13:46Ah!
13:48Hi, my name is Bonnie-Ann Clyde.
13:53I am 30 years old and I am from Dublin and I am Ireland's finest export.
13:57Do you want to beat my birds?
13:58They're telling me all the secrets.
13:59I've got Ted and this one's Dougal.
14:01And they're...
14:01What's that, Ted?
14:02What's that?
14:03I'm going to win season seven.
14:04Oh, stop it.
14:05I might do.
14:05I might do.
14:06Dougal, what do you think?
14:08Okay, no, he doesn't think I'm going to win, but that's okay.
14:10I've done drag in Dublin for six years, moved to Grand Canaria, did two and a half years
14:15there, and now I'm in Manchester in the UK.
14:17Like, I'm working away, baby.
14:18She's a full-time drag queen still.
14:20Ten years in the game.
14:21I feel like I've got, like, a lot of skills for Drag Race.
14:25I can do a lot with my lips.
14:27They can do spoken word, they can do comedy, they can do fierce, dancey lip syncs, and
14:30then when the show's over, you can meet around the back and we have a great time.
14:33But that costs extra.
14:34I think Rue and Michelle are going to, they're going to like the crack that I've got to
14:40give them.
14:41I mean, who doesn't like crack?
14:42No, that sounds really bad.
14:43Not that kind of crack.
14:45Bonnie Anne Clyde's crack is mighty.
14:47I'm, like, the first ever queen from the Republic of Ireland on Drag Race UK, so this is a big
14:52deal for me.
14:53This is my moment.
14:55I worked for years doing jobs I don't want to do, and goddammit, I worked so hard.
14:59I deserve this.
14:59I deserve this crown.
15:00I deserve that sector.
15:01I deserve that 25k.
15:02And you know what, I'm going to get it because I'm fabulous, I'm fantastic, and I am Bonnie
15:05Anne Clyde, and I'm going to win.
15:06You like me.
15:07You really like me.
15:08Well, you will, won't you see the show?
15:14Dechreuwch eich enjans agad i'r drag queen gore, ennill.
15:19I'm sacking someone.
15:20Can't get a staffman, honest to god.
15:27Hello, my name is Catherine Pieland.
15:29I'm 26 years of age, and I'm from the Rhonda valleys, and so,
15:32Wales!
15:33Wales!
15:35Oh, me meeting RuPaul.
15:37Ooh, what a guest it.
15:38Do I think Mamma Ru will understand me?
15:40Well, let's just hope that there's a translator on set.
15:44Now, all of us know all the Welsh stereotypes, and you know what?
15:46I'm just here to play a porno.
15:48I want to be as big as Tom Jones.
15:50I mean, I've already got the shoulders, I've got the accent.
15:52Yeah!
15:53Way from, love!
15:54I have been doing drag for about four years now, so my drag is very much inspired by old, traditional Welsh drag.
16:02You're going to get all the camp classics.
16:05You might recognize me for being on social media.
16:07I like doing loads of characters.
16:09Vanessa, the absolute queen, that is Ruth Jones.
16:11Pay to your chuff of that Brennyness, and I'll sling your hook or break your face.
16:16Here's one thing about Cattie Fields.
16:18She's not a very serious person.
16:20If it's ever going to get serious, I've got to be the one to crack a joke or at least fart.
16:23I might be a fairy, but I am ready to fight.
16:29If I don't get my own way, I always get my way, girls.
16:36And I'm going to get that crown one way or another.
16:53Hello, divas.
16:56My name is Viola.
16:58I'm 22, and I'm from Coventry.
17:00And you know what?
17:02I'm here to pluck it up.
17:04My drag name comes from the fact that I play the violin.
17:07Viola is another instrument, very similar to a violin, but violin isn't a name.
17:16I've been doing drag for four years, and I started off drag very androgynous.
17:21I didn't wear a wig for about a year.
17:22I still don't even really tuck, darling.
17:25I know, monstrous.
17:27It's really meaty down there, and it smells.
17:30The glamour of drag.
17:36I want to bring some sophistication and culture to drag.
17:40I've got many strings to my bow.
17:43Singing, tick.
17:45Dancing, tick.
17:46Sewing, tick.
17:48Personality, tick.
17:49And then things I'm scared of.
17:51Anything related to comedy.
17:54I want to bring a whole new genre of drag to the UK and to the world.
17:59So that is why I want to be the UK's next drag superstar.
18:03Are you ready to fill the fantasy?
18:12RuPaul's Drag Race UK, coming soon.
