A DAGENHAM drag queen is set to fight for the crown in the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Ella Vaday will be joining the new cast of season three set to hit our screens next month.
Speaking during a BBC promotion video, she said: "I've been an actor, dancer, singer professionally for about 13 years and I've done a lot of West End productions, like Wicked, Book of Mormon, Joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat.
"My drag is delicious, voluptuous and very polished."

The 32-year-old's name comes from her days running a dog walking business while appearing in the West End.
Global drag icon and judge, RuPaul Charles, presides over the BBC Three series which will see 12 of the nation’s drag queens compete over 10 weeks to be crowned the UK’s next Drag Race superstar.
Ella has been doing drag for two years, but has sung and danced from childhood. Her act took off during lockdown last year when she went from 6,000 followers to 30,000 on social media.
