“I hope this will open the door for general drag not just Drag Race.” <\/p>
It\u2019s going to be a week of glamour and sashaying as RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/a> is back for its third series, and we have a whole host of new queens ready to show how fierce they can be as they attempt to win this latest run.<\/p>\n One of those Drag Race UK 2021 contestants<\/a> is Victoria Scone who is the first ever cisgender person to appear on the show \u2013 something that Victoria herself thinks is long overdue. She is aware of the importance her status as a Queen will have for others who identify the same way that she does.<\/p>\n Victoria has been chatting to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press about joining the show and using it as a platform to inspire other cisgender people who have not seen themselves represented on the RuPaul stage before.<\/p> \u201cI entered Drag Race because I thought, \u2018How can I, cis-gendered woman, carry on complaining that there isn\u2019t anything going on show?\u2019,\u201d Scone explains, remembering signing up to Drag Race UK. \u201cHow can I possibly say that if I wasn\u2019t applying myself? So I thought I\u2019d apply for season three, did not think I would get on, but here we are. So careful what you wish for, and obviously I want to be a very successful drag queen.\u201d<\/p>\n Scone hopes that appearing on the show will allow others to follow in her footsteps, saying: \u201cI hope this will open the door for general drag, not just Drag Race. Drag all over the UK, all over the world. I hope people are gonna be more inclined to book the more diverse drag.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll see how Scone fairs on the show when it starts later this week \u2013 will she also be the first-ever cis-gendered winner? We think she has a good shot at it!<\/p>\n RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK season three starts on Thursday 23rd September. Seasons 1 and 2 of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
