Kyran Thrax
Age: 26
Hometown: Lancashire
What inspires your drag?: "I'm very inspired by Lady Gaga - she's a creative genius! I'm also inspired by art house horror films and of course, my mum! Also, the London drag scene is wild – when I first came here, I saw so many subcultures and avenues of drag that it gave me the creative freedom to create Kyran Thrax!"
How did you get into drag?: "I'm a performer, and whilst studying Acting and Contemporary Theatre at drama school, I was doing Shakespeare, expressionism, and clowning... and so I thought why not put it all together and mix it with my love of make-up and drag. And so here we are! I've been doing drag for four years, and I've been doing it full time for two. I absolutely love it. I've done fashion shows, drag brunches, commercials, performances in theatres and clubs. You've probably even seen me on a cinema screen and now, I'm finally here!"
What are you most excited for about the show?: "I'm excited for every challenge - apart from the sewing challenge. I can make amazing things in my brain, but then actually constructing and sewing them is a whole other ballgame!"
How would it feel to win the crown?: "It would mean absolutely everything to me to win Drag Race UK. I have been through so much in life and just to be here is amazing. I'm going to cherish every single moment."
