All you need to know about Ella. <\/p>
The much-hyped third series of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/a> is right around the corner and with it comes a whole new bunch of Queens that will be gearing themselves up to try and impress the judges in our second series this year.<\/p>\n One of those is Ella Vaday, who will have to battle with the glamorous Drag Race UK contestants<\/a> if she wants to sashay away from the competition wearing the coveted crown.<\/p>\n Here is all we know about Ella Vaday so far.<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 32<\/p>\n From: <\/strong>Dagenham<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> ellavaday<\/a><\/p>\n Twitter:<\/strong>\u00a0@ellavaday<\/a><\/p> Ella says she is a \u201cyummy mummy \u2013 a bit garish, a bit classy, a bit Essex-y. I\u2019m very sarcastic and dry.\u201d<\/p>\n Where did Ella\u2019s name come from? Her time running a dog walking business, would you believe? \u201cI\u2019d be running around all day, and then when I\u2019d go to work I would say, \u2018It\u2019s been a hell of a day!\u2019 I used to call myself Ella Vanass, but everyone thought I was saying elephant a*s, so I scrapped that.\u201d<\/p>\n On her style of drag, Ella says: \u201cMy drag is the feminine side of me \u2013 which, as a male actor, I\u2019ve never been allowed to show \u2013 so it\u2019s two fingers up to everyone who has ever told me I must look like a leading man. Now I am both the lead man and lead woman.\u201d<\/p>\n Ella knows she is in for a wild ride on Drag Race UK and she is, quite wisely, focusing on having a bit of downtime before things go crazy for her, saying: \u201cHope you\u2019re all having a fab bank holiday day off, I\u2019m having a major chill day, and tbh with all the madness that\u2019s coming my way soon I\u2019m taking this downtime whilst I can!\u201d[sic]<\/p>\n But she certainly is excited about it and has shared that excitement via Twitter!<\/p>\n Ella Vaday for an announcement innit!!!!
