When Drag Race UK fan favourite Baga Chipz met Mel C while filming Drag Race UK vs The World, she “just broke down” when she heard the Spice Girls star repeat her catch phrase back to her.
“When I met Mel C, she said she was a fan of me!” the queen recalls over Zoom, wearing a sparkly teal dress (that she happily says is from Zara), a mint wig and a gorgeous dark green smoky eye. “She told me: ‘You are my favourite. Much betta!’ while I was on the runway. I was like What? Are you taking the piss? [...] She’s one of the Spice Girls. Years ago, I would pretend I was Mel B or Geri because they were loud and slaggy like myself. These women were drag queens to me, and they have been such a big influence on me becoming a drag queen because of their fashion and attitude. Mel C was so incredible, and she is a brilliant LGBTQ+ ally.”
