Coral-Hole Mandi for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S8 / BBC
Age: 27
Hometown: Belfast
Introduce yourself!
“I am Coral-Hole Mandi and I’m the 27 year old Bikini Bottom Bimbo from Belfast – originally from Ballymena.”
How long have you been doing drag?
“I’ve been doing drag for about six years and I’m ready to snatch the crown by the tentacles and take it home for Belfast.”
How would you describe your drag?
“If I had to describe my genre of drag, I would say I’m mer-mazing! My drag is very much inspired by my love of the sea and my background in marine biology. Growing up, I was obsessed by the ocean, sea creatures and mermaids. I always knew I wanted to be a mermaid or a creature from the deep one day. I like to switch it up. Sometimes, I’m a cartoon candy gorgeous mermaid, and other days I look like a bog witch who has just crawled out of the swamp. I like to think of myself as the creature from the Black Dragoon!”
Why do you deserve to win the crown?
“I’m an all-rounder and I’m gonna be memorable. You’re all gonna love me by the end of this. Come on and dip your toes in the waters of Coral-Hole Mandi.”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
