Her name comes from combining chorizo and Theresa May.<\/p>\n Interestingly, in Spanish \u2018chorizo\/a\u2019 is also a slang word for thief as well as the sausage.<\/p>\n You may also have seen her show up on ITV2\u2019s Celebability.<\/p>\n One thing we\u2019ve seen Choriza talk a lot about on social media is her love for her fellow sisters on the show this year \u2013 something that we love to see.<\/p>\n Rupaul’s Drag Race S3 mi amor! Thank you so much for all the love and support, what a magical day! I couldn’t be more grateful to share this experience with all my sisters, what a colorful bunch we are! #DragRaceUK<\/a> @dragraceukbbc<\/a> @bbcthree<\/a> @rupaulsdragrace<\/a> #teamchoriza<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/oSypTGa6Ol<\/a><\/p>\u2014 chorizamay (@chorizamay) August 18, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> And she has nothing but positive things to say about the show that she is hoping to slay her way through, saying to Gay Times<\/a>: \u201cDrag Race showcases so many queer artists it\u2019s ridiculous. Drag Race is a platform for designers, hairdressers, costume makers, jewellery makers, all these people that come together to support us as queens and they show their work through us.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople need to realise how Drag Race and drag queens created a new industry and it\u2019s helping so many young queer artists to develop a career. It\u2019s amazing we get to help them like this by being fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n Series three will arrive on Thursday, 23rd September at 7pm on BBC iPlayer<\/a>. New episodes will be released weekly after that.<\/p>\n Announcements for this season\u2019s celebrity judges have begun trickling in,\u00a0with Oti Mabuse, Kathy Burke, Matt Lucas, Alesha Dixon, Emma Bunton and Leigh-Anne Pinnock all confirmed so far and more famous faces due to be announced soon.<\/p>\n RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK season three starts on Thursday, 23rd September.
