RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Ella Vaday has revealed that they used to be "conscious" about their body.
The star, also known as Nick Collier, wowed audiences and judges in the third season of Drag Race and eventually finished as a runner-up, but they have revealed to OK! Magazine that their confidence didn't always come naturally.
"I was so body conscious in high school," Collier revealed. "When I went to college in London at 16, I was surrounded by people to stare at and judge myself against. I've learnt to accept myself a lot more and I think that comes with age. I've learnt not to give as many f**ks!"
This newfound confidence could be seen in The Real Full Monty, where they revealed all along with a host of other celebrities to raise money for charity, with the star revealing they formed a "bromance" with co-star Paul Burrell.
Vaday isn’t the only Drag Race star to dip their toe in the waters of reality television, with season four runner-up Cheddar Gorgeous recently outlining her aspirations following her triumph on Celebrity Mastermind.
"If the right opportunity on reality TV came up, then I'd absolutely do it," she told Digital Spy. "I'd love to do a dancing [show]. I wouldn't do it on ice though because nobody wants to see me fall over and I've got a back condition. I'm getting very old now.
"I'd probably do Big Brother because I think it's quite interesting. I think it gives a lot of opportunity to talk and I like talking and I quite like people. So, I feel like that would be a nice one to do because it brings you into a lot of proximity with other people."
