Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Danny Beard has been crowned the Season 4 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race U.K., but the performer said the road to the winner's circle had some unexpected difficulties.
Danny, aka Daniel Curtis, prevailed over Cheddar Gorgeous, Black Peppa and Jonbers Blonde in the final round of the reality competition series, but the drag queen said there was at least one "little stumble" on her way to the finale: Snatch Game, the celebrity impersonation challenge.
Danny told UPI in a Zoom interview that she was shocked before the challenge when RuPaul told her she was not familiar with the celebrity Danny had been planning her routine around.
"I'm quite a perfectionist, and for RuPaul to throw a curveball in and say she didn't know who I was going to do -- and, you know, when RuPaul says 'Jump' you say 'How high?' -- so I knew straight away I had to change it," Danny said.
Danny, who had originally planned to impersonate TV personality Louis Walsh, ended up doing an unpracticed impersonation of singer Cilla Black.
