Season 6 runner-up La Voix had some reads for the top four of Drag Race UK‘s latest offering – and no-one was safe.

Though the party may be over, and Kyran Thrax has proclaimed every day bin day after she snatched the crown of season 6 in last week’s (28 Nov), that didn’t stop La Voix from dishing out some devastating reads at the finale viewing party.

Along with fellow finalists Rileasa Slaves and Marmalade, La Voix took aim at everyone – but particularly, event host (and former guest judge) Siobhan McSweeney.

“Are you a lesbian, Siobhán?” La Voix asked. “Oh you’re not? Well, we need to tell your hairdresser.”

La Voix then followed up by crediting her look as “so imaginative”, saying she was “creative enough to go as. the legs in the white tights that stick out from underneath the house [in Wicked].”

“Are you two gonna fist fight, or what?” joked the newly minted Kyran.

La Voix then turned her target to Kyran by saying that she was “so pleased that someone who needed the money,” won the season – adding that her boyfriend, Richie, who appeared in the season’s makeover challenge, that they can “get a proper haircut.”

No one was safe At a viewing party for the Drag Race UK finale, La Voix opened up the library once more for some iconic reads. In tonight’s episode, the air was heavy with excitement as the four finalists, Kyran Thrax, Rileasa Slaves, Marmalade and La Voix entered the Werk Room one last time. For their final ever challenge, RuPaul tasked the fab four with a recording and performing a spectacular musical performance, “A Different Winner’s Story” – a song reminiscent of every single X Factor finale song ever. Before their big performance, each queen met with RuPaul and Michelle Visage to reflect on their Drag Race journey. As ever, the final episode was “all family” with Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton joining RuPaul on the judges panel, and RuPaul bringing back all of his girls. Fans were treated to seeing the Season 6 sisters return as backing dancers to the finalists’ epic performance. The finalists went for gold with their rousing grand final number, and served fabulous fierceness with their finale eleganza runway. And in a Drag Race UK first, the queens voted Charra Tea, as their Miss Congeniality. But with four queens on the main stage, it was clear that the time had come for Mama Ru to make some decisions. RuPaul said: “Marmalade and Rileasa, I’m sorry my dears but this is not your time. You are both fabulous queens with bright futures. Thank you for a truly sickening season.” And so, in a grand showdown, it was down to Kyran Thrax and La Voix to deliver one final lip sync for the crown to Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen. And so, the much anticipated verdict was delivered. Mama Ru said: “The UK’s Next Drag Super star is KYRAN THRAX!” And so, Kyran Thrax was crowned as the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, awarding her the title of The UK’s Next Drag Superstar, and the cash prize of £25,000! Wielding her crown and sceptre, Kyran Thrax said: “From now on, every day is bin collection day!” RuPaul responded: “Bravo! Now prance my queen, prance!” Kyran continued: “This is more than a dream come true. This is the accomplishment of a lifetime. I’ve never felt so proud in my entire life.”

The drag icon won four badges during her run on Drag Race UK, but narrowly lost out on the crown to Kyran after one final lipsync to “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen.

La Voix also revealed in some pre-finale press that she’d never actually watched the show prior to competing. Icon.

“They would go, ‘Tomorrow we’re playing the Snatch Game’, [or] ‘We’re doing this’ and I’d be like, ‘What’s that?’” she told Metro.

“There were so many queens and a lot of the eliminated ones [who] were so in the franchise and in the show and ‘I think this means this and that means that’, and it was quite nice to be like: ‘I’m just going to see what they throw at me tomorrow’ and come at it fresh. I think that did me a lot of favours.”
