RuPaul's Drag Race UK crowns sixth queen

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the final below

After 10 episodes, Kyran Thrax was crowned the winner, describing it as "the ride of my life".

"There have been highs and lows, and I’m very proud of this season.

"And of every single person that was a part of creating the season, because it’s magic."

And on a personal level, it was a significant season for Kyran.

At the end of each episode, RuPaul asks the queens: "If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love someone else?"

And in episode five Kyran opened up about how they hadn't always felt that way, and how hard loving themselves had been after being groomed online.

Their abuser, who posed as a teenager and targeted a 13-year-old Kyran shortly after they came out, was sent to prison but Kyran said the ordeal "made me despise myself".

"I hated myself so much because I saw everything falling apart around me."

But their confidence started to grow after their mum told them "to look in the mirror and tell myself I loved myself".

"I did it every day before school... and I didn't believe it and I hated it and then I slowly started to believe it, and that's where this confidence comes from

Kyran says the reaction has been "so overwhelming in the most amazing way".

"I wanted to show people that you can go through something like that and it doesn’t need to destroy you.

"The moment I started talking, I feel like I’m showing everyone I’m human."

One of the series' standout moments was when La Voix's dad Richard joined her for the family resemblance challenge, where the queens are tasked with putting a loved one in drag.

Richard, who's 78, brought judge Michelle Visage to tears when, transformed into Voila, he described realising "it's a privilege being gay".

"Of all the hard work and effort people go through in this world, it's tremendous, and I give praise to everybody," he said.

"I hope I'm setting an example to other parents who should equally love their child - irrespective of gender or anything."

The moment was shared widely online and La Voix, 44, says "that wisdom and guidance was incredible".

"He's an absolute legend.

"The love and support he's had from the community and he just wants to keep giving back."
