A star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK was reportedly assaulted in a homophobic attack at a Tesco store in London.

Drag performer Pixie Polite, who came fifth in the fourth series of the show in 2022, claimed they were punched in the back to the head and neck by a man inside the supermarket on Monday evening.

What began as 'general comments and mocking' descended into 'verbal homophobic abuse, then into violence', the 32-year-old wrote on Instagram.

The star was taken to hospital with a suspected concussion and was examined by doctors, who found their symptoms were 'conducive with a general head injury'.

Pixie, whose given name is Mark James Dudley Wickens, told followers they were 'pretty much fine', but still felt a 'little groggy' in a post this morning.
