Victoria Scone has left RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/a> this week after injuring her knee in a previous episode.<\/p>\n

In tonight\u2019s episode, RuPaul revealed that Victoria Scone<\/a> \u2013 the first-ever cisgender female to compete in the Drag Race franchise \u2013 had withdrawn from series three after being looked at by a doctor.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old hurt her knee during the winners\u2019 lip-sync in episode one and while she managed to get through episode two\u2019s Dragoton challenge safely, RuPaul revealed last week that a medical examination was necessary for her to continue in the competition.<\/p>\n

In this evening\u2019s episode, RuPaul announced to the remaining Drag Race UK queens<\/a> that he had some unfortunate news to report following Victoria Scone<\/a>\u2018s examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on medical advice, the amazing and talented Victoria Scone will not be returning to the competition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe will all miss Victoria very much and I have a sense that we haven\u2019t seen the last of her. But for now, the show must go on.\u201d<\/p>

Speaking to camera, Choriza May<\/a> said in a testimonial: \u201cI am shocked. As much as I could be happy that one of my biggest competitors is gone, I\u2019m not feeling that right now. I want her to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria had established herself as a fierce competitor in the season\u2019s premiere episode, with RuPaul placing her in the top alongside Krystal Versace<\/a> following their Hometown and Favourite Thing runways.<\/p>\n

To decide the winner, Krystal and Victoria were asked to compete against one another in a lip-sync to Bonnie Tyler\u2019s Total Eclipse of the Heart, during which Victoria injured her knee \u2013 however, it was Krystal who was declared the winner.<\/p>\n

RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK series three airs arrives on BBC iPlayer at 7pm every Thursday. If you\u2019re looking for more to watch check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our Entertainment<\/a> hub for the latest news.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
