Drag Race UK star Lill talks “surprising” fan response
In her GAY TIMES exit interview, Drag Race UK star Lill discusses her “uncomfortable” final episode, fan-favourite status and why RuPaul *shouldn’t* let queens change for the lip-sync.
WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC “I’m dead important now,” jokes (?) Lill.
Over the course of Drag Race UK’s sixth season, which has been lauded as one of the franchise’s best, the Manchester queen has accumulated a die-hard following thanks to her edgy aesthetic and dry sense-of-humour (as well as her word-for-word homage of Geri Halliwell’s iconic and Oscar-worthy appearance on Sex and the City). “Everyone’s just been dead nice.
I’ve loved it,” Lill says of her fan-favourite status. “I thought I’d be getting death threats and all sorts, but no, just marriage proposals!” To the distress of aforementioned fans, we were forced to say “ta-ra!” to Lill this week following her performance in the roast.
