Kyran Thrax has been named as the winner of this year’s edition of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
The 26-year-old, who hails from Lancashire, beat out competition from La Voix, Marmalade and Rileasa Slaves to not only take the crown but also win the show’s first cash prize – £25,000.
For the final challenge, the top four had to perform an X Factor-style song called ‘A Different Winner’s Story’, after which Ru eliminated Marmalade and Rileasa.
La Voix and Kyran then battled it out in a final lip synch – to Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ – before Ru named Kyran the winner.
“From now on, every day is bin collection day!” said Kyran after the victory, adding: “This is more than a dream come true. This is the accomplishment of a lifetime. I’ve never felt so proud in my entire life.”
Elsewhere, Charra Tea was named the UK version’s first ever Miss Congeniality, as voted for by her fellow queens.
