Exclusive: Bailey J Mills says they’d be “misunderstood” on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
Bailey J Mills says they’d be “misunderstood” by RuPaul and the panel if they were to appear on a future season of Drag Race UK.
The British drag entertainer and comedian memorably shot to fame over the pandemic with their inexplicably hilarious tribute to Scooby Doo’s severely near-sighted detective Velma Dinkley, which became one of the biggest viral hits in recent years.
Since “Scooby! Shaggy! Oh my god, Daphne?! Frederick?! Where is everybody?!” changed comedy forever, Bailey has received enormous amounts of praise for their “crunchy, cheap and affordable” aesthetic and “council estate” sense-of-humour.
As one of the most prominent drag entertainers in the UK right now – their Instagram and TikTok followings have surpassed 50k – Bailey is often faced with the question, “When will we see you on Drag Race UK?” Although Bailey reveals they tried out for the third season, which saw Krystal Versace take home the crown, their application was turned down.
