Paige Three for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S7 / BBC
Age: 28
Hometown: London/Surrey
Introduce yourself!
“Hello, I’m Paige Three. I’m 28, I’m from Surrey, and I’m an utterly silly cow! I am ready to do what I do best, which is look absolutely stunning… and take your husband!”
How long have you been doing drag?
“I’m from a musical theatre background. I started dancing when I was about 12 years old, and I’ve performed in West End shows such as ‘Cats’, ‘Kinky Boots’, ‘Chicago’ and ‘We Will Rock You’. I first did drag in ‘Kinky Boots’, and when the show finished, I discovered something in me that I was not willing to let go of. So, I started doing drag in my bedroom and then tried a gig. I felt like it was ALL the things that I love so much in my life combined with all the things that I trained so hard to do, and this time I was in control. Drag has become the most special outpouring of artistry and love for me, and I feel incredibly lucky to be a drag queen.”
How did you come up with your drag name?
“Paige Three, if you don’t know, is a play on words referencing the glamourous women who posed on page three of a tabloid newspaper. My take on that is to exude glamour, body and serve up a performance that everybody’s talking about!”
Why do you deserve to win the crown?
“I’ve waited a long time to be here. I have honed my craft, and I’m ready to do it even better! You’ve been turning those pages and now it’s time to stop turning because you’re on Paige Three, baby, and I’m ready to take this crown!”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
