'Drag Race' star makes herstory -- 1st RuGirl to win 'Strictly Come Dancing'

Strictly Come Dancing -- the original U.K. series that's aired for 20 years on the BBC and was adapted into Dancing With the Stars in the U.S. -- just made history by crowning the first-ever drag queen winner of the franchise... and let's just say that RuPaul's Drag Race fans are feeling absolutely "UK, hun!" about this result.

On Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024, RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 2 star Tayce became the first-ever drag queen to win any season of Strictly Come Dancing around the world. Tayce's casting alone had already been herstoric as the first-ever drag competitor of the U.K. series. However, winning the Glitterball Trophy made her appearance on the show even more legendary.

Tayce competed in the 2024 edition of the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special against Josh Widdicombe (comedian and author), Vogue Williams (TV host and podcaster), Harry Aikines-Aryeetey a.k.a. Nitro (Olympic athlete), Tamzin Outhwaite (actress), and Billy Monger (car racing driver and TV host), as reported by the BBC.
