30-Year-Old Choriza May From Newcastle

Choriza May (which is already our favourite drag name that we've ever heard) is a Spanish-born queen who now lives in Newcastle. She told BBC that "As an immigrant queen, I'm someone with a slightly different background to the other queens in the competition, but my drag was born in the UK. There are millions of European immigrants in the UK, and I'm so happy to be representing them as drag queen of the immigrants!"

In terms of what inspired her to do drag, she said that "There were so many artistic things that, as a boy, I didn't dare to do, but then I realised I didn't have to fit a standard. I was going to do what I wanted to do — and drag would be my tool."
