'I could have bought a house' shares Drag Race UK winner who received no cash prize

Often described as the Superbowl of drag, Emmy winning show RuPaul's Drag Race has captivated fans since it's conception back in 2009. The UK version has amassed over 51 million streams on BBC iPlayer, becoming one of the most popular shows on the platform.

This massive viewership has been pulled in by four seasons of high calibre drag acts who all bring with them a wardrobe full of looks, from Mr Blobby costumes to final 'eleganza extrazaganza' runways.

It is no secret that this comes with a price, with queens from all versions of the show confessing to spending thousands and thousands to prepare and be in with a chance of winning a cash prize along with global stardom.
