RuPauls’s Drag Race UK fans were left teary eyed and emotional after a rollercoaster second episode of season four.

In Thursday’s (29 September) episode of Drag Race UK saw another queen sashay away, RuPeter badges handed out like candy and Dakota Schiffer share her emotional backstory.

During the episode, Dakota – the first trans woman to compete on the UK version of Drag Race – spoke about the special bond she has with her queer and non-binary identical twin.

“We were both bullied very severely,” Dakota said.

“Those experiences from childhood is such a dark time, I’ve got such bad memories about them.”

She spoke about how hard school years were for her, but how her twin was always there for her.

“But they are not too dark because I knew that everyday leaving school my best friend would be walking home with me.

“They have been there through everything. We’ve helped each other through every major trauma and event in our lives. We came out as queer the same age at 15, together.”
