Drag Race UK star Charra Tea on makeover exit: ‘I waited for a Kandy Muse moment’
In her GAY TIMES exit interview, Charra Tea discusses her final hour on Drag Race UK, RuPaul’s unnecessary decision to send a queen packin’ and why season six has been an all-timer for the franchise.
WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC “After that cabaret talent show I was like, ‘Get me my suitcases, let’s go!'” says Charra Tea.
Fortunately for viewers, Drag Race UK’s garish icon persevered and delivered one of the franchise’s most unpredictable trajectories in the process, from safe-safe-safe-safe-to-waaaasp!
Her bonkers Snatch Game performance of Nadine Coyle *as* Mary Poppins almost snatched her the win, while her Kylie Minogue homage Padam-ed its way into the Rusical herstory books. (Kylie approved, too!) Episode eight saw the return of the staple makeover, with Charra transforming her beautiful mother Pamela into ‘Mama Tea’.
