Learn more about RuPaul's Drag Race UK season six queen Saki Yew, including their age, hometown and background.

Saki Yew

Age: 33

Hometown: Manchester

Could you describe your drag?: "There's a lot of energy - you won't be able to take your eyes off me! You can expect to see a showgirl who's going to perform her heart out, whether it be a ballad or a dance anthem. It's really important to me, to represent my cultural identity in my drag and so I serve Australian showgirl glamour, mixed with high energy Filipino sass and a sprinkle of Northern wit and realness. I think I am a bit of a Frankenstein drag queen!"

What are your drag strengths?: "I've been a drag queen for over thirteen years, and I have an extensive entertainment CV. As well as serving face and showgirl glamour, I am also a very experienced sewer and crafter. I particularly love crochet. My love of crochet comes from when I was on tour with The Lion King and during breaks in acts, I would crochet blankets, beanies, scarves. I even crocheted a beanie for my dog! Here's hoping, that the opportunity arises to crochet in a design challenge!"

What are you most excited for about the show?: "I can't wait to show off in a girl group challenge and a Rusical! With my musical theatre background, these challenges are made for me."

How would it feel to win the crown?: "Taking the crown would mean the world to me. A dream come true, and for any little boys and girls watching out there, they might see that winning at life could be a possibility for them too."
