Ginny Lemon dramatically walked off during a lip sync battle, making their shocking exit from RuPaul’s Drag Race. So, what happened?
The UK version of Drag Race season two is getting well underway, with the drag queens bringing all the sass and glamour to the stage.
During the lip sync, one of the contestants decided to walk off, leaving the judges – including RuPaul – in shock about what just happened.
So, let’s revisit the historic moment that Ginny left the stage!
Drag Race series 2 episode 4: Round-up
Ginny Lemon was against Sister Sister during the lip sync battle – as they were up for elimination on Thursday’s (January 5) episode.
The Worcestershire drag queen announced that she was going to “f*** it up, be punk” and do what they “always do”.
They added: “That’s my whole thing.”
As the song started to play, Ginny Lemon blew a kiss, walked towards the back of the stage, and made what looked like a swearing sign on their exit.
Ginny Lemon then laughed, before officially leaving the stage.
I am full on GAGGED at Ginny lemon. She deserves the crown just because of that exit #DragRaceUK
