The fourth elimination on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season five has provoked a heartfelt response by fans.
Spoilers ahead.
The sixth episode aired on screens just as Spooky Season came to a halt and Mariah Carey ushered in the festive Christmas season.
In true Snatch Game spirit, nothing quite says great British icon like a special guest appearance from Carol Vorderman alongside Alexandra Burke. The singer later joined the judging panel alongside RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Alan Carr.
Ginger Johnson, for the third week in a row, won the maxi-challenge with her portrayal of romance novelist Dame Barbara Cartland, whilst DeDeLicious and Vicki Vivacious found themselves in the bottom two.
The duo took on the esteemed guest judge’s track ‘Heartbreak on Hold’ and Vicki Vivacious was the next queen to sashay away.
“Thank you for believing in me when loads of people haven’t,” she said on the stage to Ru, before departing.
In her backstage confessional she explained: “I am devastated not to make it to the end but I am so proud to be the first Cornish girl ever on Drag Race around the world.
“It feels incredible. I hope I’ve made you proud, Cornwall. I love you and I’ll see you soon.”
Vicki Vivacious spent the evening hosting a watch party before going to nightclub Heaven for Porn Idol. She announced via her Instagram Story, “Hiya bitch, it’s your biggest loser, it’s me Vicki Vivacious. So come down and see me,” and posted her final runway on the grid with the caption, “Love most of ya.”
