Lucky Roy Singh for RuPaul's Drag Race UK S8 / BBC
Age: 36
Hometown: Manchester
Introduce yourself!
“Wake up United Kingdom, your Maharani has arrived! I’m the first South Asian queen on Drag Race UK, so get into it, baby. I’m Lucky Roy Singh, your Punjabi fantasy from Manchester, the Bollywood Punjabi diva – sweet on the outside, and spicy on the inside. Yes, I am 36 but the spices keep me youthful.”
How would you describe your drag?
“I’ve been doing drag for over ten years now, it’s something that I was drawn to. My aesthetic is culture, heritage, history, it’s very much East meets West. I’m very glamorous and playful, but beware, Lucky is shady but kind.”
What’s your game plan?
“I think you’d be stupid not to play dirty. I always lead with love and kindness, but at the same time, there’s a crown in sight and I’ve got to go for it! I’m really excited about Snatch Game, the design challenge, the roast, the Rusical. I’m here for it all. I’m a hustler, and I’m willing to do it all to get that crown, I’m going to fight hard for it, baby.”
Why do you deserve to win the crown?
“We need some spice on Drag Race UK, it would mean so much to me and the British South Asian community. Those other girls better step their pussies up!”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns next month on BBC Three and iPlayer.
