Gra1162:

Name: Blu Hydrangea
Age: 23
Location: Belfast
Real Name: Joshua Cargill

Name origin: "My drag name comes from some Blu Hydrangea bush that is in my garden. My nanna told me that we had to plant it with a rusty nail so that it turns into a beautiful blue hydrangea. I love that story of something coming from a rusty dirty old nail into something beautiful which is kind of like me as a person. I came from someone who wasn’t so confident who was a little bit of a nerd into this glamourous colourful being - I love it."

Gra1162:

Name: Cheryl Hole
Age: 25
Location: Essex
Real name: Luke Underwood

Can you tell us about yourself and your act?
I’m Cheryl Hole, I’m 25 years old and I’m from the glamorous
land of Essex. I’m a dancing diva, I’m known for my dance moves,
death drops and pure entertainment and that’s what you want
from a drag queen isn’t it?

Name origins: "My drag name comes from the icon and Geordie princess Cheryl Cole. Cheryl have inspired so much of my life. I’m also in a Girls Aloud drag tribute group called Gals Aloud and I play Cheryl for obvious reasons. "

Gra1162:

Name: Sum Ting Wong
Age: 30
Location: Birmingham
Real Name: Bo Zeng

How did you come up with your drag name?
When I started doing drag five years ago, I wanted a name that
was cheeky but also reflected my British Vietnamese heritage, so
I browsed the internet and came across a meme about an
American news report which turned out to be a prank. It was
about a missing Asian plane and all the names of the missing
crew were plays on Chinese names, such as Sum Ting Wong
and ‘Wi Tu Lo’, and another was ‘Ho Lee Fuk’. It was wrong in so
many ways, and that was why I chose my name, as my an own act
of reclamation!

Gra1162:

Age: 35
Location: West Yorkshire
Real name: Owen Farrow

What makes you unique?
My ridiculous laugh - which isn’t fake! I’ve taken a long time to build up my skillset so when you come to a Divina De Campo show you know there’ll be some comedy, some dancing, some singing, and some acting. I think there’s credibility to an artist, who has made everything you’re seeing on stage. The choreography, the music, the lyrics, all of that is my ideas, my vision. That’s what makes me unique, that and I’m a complete control freak.

Name origins: "So Divina is Italian for Divine who was a big inspiration for me. I have a strong falsetto and I use that a lot as part of my acts and then De Campo means field but I got that really because I’m super camp. I think that drag names should give you a flavour of what you’re going to get so I think Divina De Campo does that - it tells you there’s gonna be more than you’re expecting."

Gra1162:

Nmae Scaredy Kat
Age: 20 (19 during filming)
Location: Wiltshire
Real Name: TBA

What are you greatest strengths?
My greatest strength is probably the fact that I’m terrified of
everything. I also have ok makeup skills I guess. I think being the
youngest queen is a blessing and a curse. I haven’t got masses to
prove but then again I’ve got barely any experience. I’m hoping
the others will underestimate me, especially, because I look this
cute.

Name origins:  I came up with my drag name because I’m just a bit of a p***y really, and I’m scared of everything from answering the phone to going on Drag Race. It’s all the same to me."
