RuPaul’s Drag Race UK: Cheryl Hole Met Cheryl Cole – But Some Fans Are Crying Foul After This Week’s Result

Speaking after her exit, Blu said she knew her fate was sealed when she discovered she’d be going up against Cheryl in the lip sync.

“I knew that I wasn’t going to be saved – it was a Cheryl Cole song, in front of Cheryl Cole, and I was up against Cheryl Hole,” she said in an interview with HuffPost UK.

“I wouldn’t have wanted to see her go, she was my closest person in the competition. But at the same time, I didn’t want to see myself go, and that’s why I had to put up a fight, even if I kind of knew what was coming.”

Four queens now remain in the competition with next week’s semi-final will see them tasked with giving their mothers and sisters a drag makeover in the hope of making it through to the final.

A new episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race drops on BBC iPlayer next Thursday at 8pm.
