Paige Three, from Guildford, featured in the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK

A star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, who described her experience on the TV show as "an absolute whirlwind", is to perform in a pantomime.

Paige Three featured on seven episodes of the latest series before being eliminated in a lip-sync battle against Bones.

The Guildford-born drag queen said while it felt like a "fall from grace", she looked positively on the overall experience.

"One of my favourite things that has come out of Drag Race is that people have seen that I have a personality," she said.

The background is different shades of sparkling purple with a bright yellow circle behind her. On the right, she is in a makeshift corset bodysuit, with thigh-high black leather boots and gloves past her elbows. She has a dramatic white, curly wig and the background is pink, orange, purple, white and blue.

She added: "I really hold Drag Race dear for that because it was able to give me a voice."

Paige Three is no stranger to the stage, as she has performed for the late Queen Elizabeth II at her 90th birthday, dancing for Beverley Knight, as well as having performed with Kimberly Wyatt from The Pussycat Dolls.

Paige Three is also to feature in an adult pantomime of Beauty and the Beast in January.

The show is to be on tour from mid-January to mid-March, including one show at Dorking Hall in Surrey on 12 February 2026.

"I'm really looking forward to my friends and family and people who are Surrey-based to see some drag in our home," she said.

"Though I did not win the crown, I will provide them with fantastic drag."
