Find out who has sashayed away from the competition so far.
*Warning: Spoilers ahead for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 5.*
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK came back with a splash last month (Thursday 27th September), with a new group of queens all ready to prove they have what it takes to be named the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar 2023.
As no queens left the show in the first week, all eyes were on the second week of Drag Race UK to see who would have to sashay away from the competition and, unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Alexis Saint Pete.
Tonight, we had to wave goodbye to another queen.
This week, the queens’ improv and comedy skills were tested to the max as they were tasked with hosting a ‘Disasterclass’ sharing their wisdom on ‘Werk, Love and Pray’.
Their skills were judged by actor Suranne Jones, who joined RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Alan Carr to determine the fate of another queen.
Now there are eight queens left in the competition, meaning that for another queen it was time to sashay away.
So, who left RuPaul’s Drag Race UK this week?
Read on for a list of all the contestants who have left Drag Race UK season 3 so far, including who was eliminated in Week 4.
Week 4 – Miss Naomi Carter
Miss Naomi Carter became the second contestant to be eliminated from the competition after facing Cara Belle in the lip sync challenge, performing to The Only Way Is Up by Yazz.
“Miss Naomi Carter – from this moment on the only way is up. Now, Sashay-away,” RuPaul told Miss Naomi Carter.
In her parting interview, Naomi said: “Not going to lie, I’m gutted that I’m going home but I’ve learnt a lot about myself and I’ve had an absolute ball whilst I’ve been here. RuPaul’s my Mam now so that’s the best feeling in the world. I’d invite Ru to Donny, but I know for a fact he wouldn’t be able to understand anyone at all! I’m so proud to be a Ru Girl.”
The queen described her experience in the competition as an “incredible experience”.
“I’ve met so many amazing people. I’ve met my all time icon, RuPaul and also meeting the fabulous Michelle Visage was incredible – she’s so gorgeous in person.
“I’m obsessed! And I met my amazing fellow queens as well. It was ALL such an incredible experience.”
Week 2 – Alexis Saint Pete
Alexis Saint Pete became the first contestant to be eliminated from the competition after going head to head against Miss Naomi Carter in the lip sync challenge, performing to Hot In It by Charli XCX.
During the show, Alexis Saint Pete failed to impress the judges with her self-made couture clothing.
“The neckline is a little wonky and the hemline is [a] little bit questionable,” RuPaul said of Alexis Saint-Pete’s runway look.
In her parting interview, Alexis said: “I didn’t want to go home first. I wanted to show so much more. But I’m walking away as a winner already in my heart. I’m so happy to be here in my new homeland and I hope to come back stronger than ever.”
The queen described her experience in the competition as “amazing and unforgettable”.
“Meeting RuPaul was out of this world – she’s such an icon and it was just out of this world when she chose me as one of the tops of the week in the opening episode last week. It means so much to me,” she said.
“I don’t regret a thing. I honestly had the best time ever and I loved everybody from my fellow sisters to the crew. It was everything that I dreamed about.”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 5 airs tonight at 9pm on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
