Lawrence Chaney voted second most influential drag queen in the UK

One of Glasgow's very own drag queens has been named as one of the most influential in the UK.

Lawrence Chaney snatched the crown on Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and has since gone on to become one of the biggest stars the city has produced in recent years.

She has now been named the second most influential drag queen in the UK - days after she featured alongside Ant and Dec on their primetime Saturday night gameshow.

Looking at Instagram followers, engagement, money earned per Instagram post, YouTube followers and Cameo prices, Lawrence has been found to hold some amount of clout.

The data by Justmylook has revealed that Bimini, Lawrence and Blu Hydrangea are the most followed.

Fellow Scot Ellie Diamond came in at 10th place, impressively just behind Season 1 winner The Vivienne.

Although coming in third place, it is estimated that Blu Hydrangea has the highest Instagram earnings, making an average of £2,400 per sponsored post. Blu is followed by Bimini Bon-Boulash (£1,970 per post) and Charity Kase (£1,260 per post) as the top three earners from Instagram. The drag artists with the highest engagement on social media though is Charity Kase, followed by Blu Hydrangea, and in third is the ‘FACE’ of season two, Tayce.

Tayce is the most inspirational drag queen in terms of their makeup looks, with searches for the drag queens iconic makeup at the highest out of all UK queens.

The Vivienne comes in fifth place on the list as fans are looking to copy their looks for themselves.

The Vivienne also landed as the third most pinned queen on Pinterest, beaten only by Tayce in the first place and Bimini Bon-Boulash in second.
