RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK star Veronica Green<\/a> has spoken honestly about competing for the second time and admits that \u201cmaybe it was a mistake\u201d after going through one of the \u201cworst times\u201d in her life.<\/p>\n The London queen became the latest contestant to be eliminated from RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/a> series three last week, having previously competed in series two, during which she dropped out after testing positive for COVID.<\/p>\n In an exclusive interview with\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/strong><\/a>, Veronica said that returning to the competition was \u201creally, really tough\u201d but that she loved being a part of it.<\/p>\n \u201cMy experience on Drag Race this second time around \u2013 they pulled no punches! I feel like it was tough this time around, really really tough.<\/p>\n \u201cI loved every single minute of it though, I wouldn\u2019t change it for the world. Drag Race has been part of my life for the past 18 months and I\u2019ve loved being part of it and I\u2019d do it all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that taking part in series three shortly after filming series two proved to be an \u201cimmense challenge\u201d given that she had little time to prepare and few resources.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the challenges were immense and there was a lot of weight on my shoulders and a lot of anxiety about the need to \u2018glow up\u2019 and improve my drag and my runway looks from season two.<\/p> \u201cThe biggest obstacle in my way was the fact that the gap between season two and season three was very, very short. People very quickly forget that it was only six months ago that season two was on the air and I was filming season three at the time. The time between seasons is so short, I haven\u2019t had the opportunity to focus on glowing up my experience.<\/p>\n \u201cAnother big challenge was the financial aspect of it as well. I did have a very rough summer over the first lockdown, went through depression and how could I even think about improving my runway looks when I didn\u2019t even want to get out of bed? I\u2019d lost all my work, there was no work and I was on the verge of bankruptcy to the point where I couldn\u2019t even put food on the table.<\/p>\n \u201cMy fiancee had to support me throughout that time. It was one of the worst times of my life but when Drag Race comes calling, you go. I would never have said no to this opportunity. Maybe it was a mistake? Because I was never going to be prepared. I didn\u2019t have the contacts that some people had, nobody really knew who I was going into season two and that\u2019s the same with the designers. I was a one-person band.<\/p>\n \u201cDrag Race can and has started to change my life now, so I\u2019d like to thank RuPaul and all the producers and everybody who works on Drag Race, because what they\u2019ve done for me has changed my life,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n By Lauren Morris Published: Thursday, 14 October 2021 at 12:00 am RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK star Veronica Green has spoken honestly about competing for the second time and admits that \u201cmaybe it was a mistake\u201d after going through one of the \u201cworst times\u201d in her life.
