RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’s fourth season has officially crowned its newest superstar queen, Danny Beard, who received the trophy.
The bearded queen, who is from Liverpool and said that she has been bullied in the past, won this season after an amazing conclusion.
Finalists Danny, Black Peppa, Cheddar Gorgeous, and Jonbers Blonde had to perform to Mama Ru’s classics in tonight’s (November 24) programme.
There was a colourful ensemble number with four outstanding solos during the UK Grand Finale Megamix. Black Peppa made a strong impression on RuPaul and the judges Michelle Visage, Alan Carr, and Graham Norton with a split during her opening number, “Sissy That Walk,” while wearing a silver cutout bodysuit.
In a Star Trek-inspired outfit and knee-high red boots, Cheddar performed “The Realness” next, and Danny Beard performed “Call Me Mother” while lip-syncing in a feather-adorned dress-turned-leotard. For “Kitty Girl,” Jonbers wore a pastel catsuit with glittering embellishments.

Later, the queens had an emotional moment as they gave advice to their younger selves while strutting down the runway in their Grand Final Eleganza attire.

Ru chose Danny and Cheddar as the top two finalists after the panel delivered their comments and accolades. The two women gave it their all during a lip sync performance of Shirley Bassey’s “This is My Life” before Ru made her ultimate choice.
The final winner was Danny Beard, who had all the season’s queens gathered around her to offer their support.
