RuPaul’s Drag Race UK: Everything To Know About Ellie Diamond

21-year-old Ellie Diamond is the youngest contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 2, and many fans want to get to know her even better. On season 1, nearly all the queens were from different parts of England. The only standout in the cast was Blu Hydrangea, who represented Northern Ireland. Blu’s presence in the cast felt even more special because she was able to open up about gay marriage still not being legal in Northern Ireland at the time. Given the exposure that the Drag Race platform is able to provide, this shone a light on an important topic.

This year, Drag Race UK season 2 had a more geographically diverse cast. The season features Ellie Diamond and Lawrence Chaney, who are both from Scotland, as well as Tayce, who is from Wales. Five weeks in, all three queens are still in the competition, which makes this a pretty diverse Top 7. When it comes to the Scottish queens, both Ellie and Lawrence have brought to the show different talents that made the season much stronger. Ellie is a true master in makeup, and Lawrence is an undeniably skilled comedian.

At just 21 years old, Ellie Diamond is the youngest queen on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 2. She is from Dundee, Scotland and believes that Scottish queens all have to be self-sufficient, which is a great asset for them. A self-described Drag Race superfan, Ellie knows everything there is to know about RuPaul and the long-running series that he’s created. Ellie considers her biggest strengths to be in putting together great looks and fiercely performing on the stage. This queen has been doing drag for three years, having learned much of what she knows from watching YouTube tutorials.

After five weeks of Drag Race UK competition, Ellie Diamond has either placed high or safe. She has yet to win a maxi challenge and get a RuPeter badge, but she has never landed in the bottom, either. All things considered, Ellie is definitely a competitor who could still snatch the crown in the end.

Ellie Diamond is still competing on Drag Race UK, so the jury is still out on how far she will get on the show. The fans hope to get a lot more from this queen.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 2 airs Thursdays at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET exclusively on WOW Presents Plus in the US and select territories worldwide, day-and-date with its international airing on BBC iPlayer in the UK.
