Drag Race UK star Tayce has made Strictly Come Dancing herstory. On 25 December, fans were treated to the dance competition series’ exciting Christmas special.
Like the mainline show, the holiday episode features six stars hit the ballroom floor, where they dance it out for the coveted star trophy and title of Christmas Champion.
The lineup for this year included presenter Vogue Williams, comedian Josh Widdicombe, Eastenders star Tamzin Outhwaite, racing driver Billy Monger, Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryettey, and beloved Drag Race UK runner-up Tayce, who is the first drag queen to compete on Strictly.
While each contestant delivered incredible performances with their professional dance partners, Tayce and Kai Widdrington’s Cha-Cha to Kylie and Dannii Minogue’s ‘100 Degrees’ truly captivated the judges – who each granted them scores of 10. “I mean, you were like Santa, it was like ‘sleigh, sleigh, sleigh!’ judge Motsi Mabuse exclaimed during critiques.
