Ella Vosque for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S7 / BBC
Age: 22
Hometown: Belfast
Introduce yourself!
“Hey everyone, my name is Elle Vosque, I’m 22, and I’m the belle of Belfast City!”
How long have you been doing drag?
“I’ve been doing drag for four years. The initial Elle experience, you will never see any footage, but it’s wild, but since then I have practised my makeup every day and perfected my craft. I like to say that my four year drag career is the equivalent of someone else’s ten-year career. I have worked so hard, and I have done everything I could have done to prepare me for this moment.”
How does it feel to be representing Northern Ireland?
“Northern Ireland does have a great track record on Drag Race, and it makes sense because we’re really good. There’s been Blu Hydrangea, the first Queen of the Mother Tucking World, there’s also finalist, Jonbers Blonde, and Charra Tea, who won Miss Congeniality. And now me – I’m from West Belfast, and I’m the best of the West! “
Are you competitive?
“I would say I’m very competitive. I’ve only ever competed in one competition before, but I don’t talk about it because I didn’t win! I think it’s a big advantage to walk into Drag Race as a baby queen. This is my plan; I’m going to go in under the radar, and then I’m just going to attack all the challenges, and the queens won’t know what hit them!”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
