    The revelation came as Kinky Boots musical star Marcus Collins posted a selfie with Sandra and one user commented:

    “Did she charge you £1 for the selfie as she did with others at a recent festival?”

    Bravo.

    And apparently she’s giving that cash to charity. According to Yahoo.com the money goes to ‘Bonded Thru Cancer’ as she’s the Ambassador for the charity.

    Let’s face it, we’d all paid a quid to be seen with the self styled Queen of Gogglebox – even if it was just to touch her famous ring.

    “If Tiffany’s in Heathrow has the ring that I want, I might even make it official when I’m out there.”

     

    The athlete came out as gay last October live on the Victoria Derbyshire show and is just one of a handful of out Olympians taking part in the 2016 games.

    In the latest issue of THEGAYUK (issue 21) the Race Walker talked about how he met his boyfriend, saying,

    “My female friend decided to hit on him. She quite liked the look of him.

    “Me and my other friend were sat there trying not to laugh as we quite clearly could see that he perhaps didn’t bat for that team (laughs).

    “She got very offended when he said, “You’re not my type.” He was trying to be polite.

    “She couldn’t understand why and it was at that point that I walked up to my friend and said, “I think he’s probably more my type, than your type.”

    “We got talking from there. The rest is history.”

  • Drag mayhem on top of Snowdon

    Drag mayhem on top of Snowdon

    A cock in a frock on a rock… Drag queens are gearing up to scale Wales’ tallest mountain, Snowdon.

    Next summer, a gaggle of drag queens are set to climb Mount Snowdon, one of the UK’s tallest mountains in aid of four charities.

    Organiser, Miss Roxy Ritz said,

     “I was supporting one of my drag queen colleagues, Crystal Ball, who was performing at a local venue and went outside to get some fresh air.

    I was speaking to one of the venue locals who mentioned that they lived in Wales near Snowdonia, which got me talking about Priscilla Queen of the Desert (don’t ask how!). After going back inside I did a little thinking and then it came to me… Queens of Snowdonia!”

    “The idea of drag queens hiking up Snowdonia excited me, so for the next couple of days as I built on the idea, I asked a few people to see what they thought about it and, lo and behold, Queens of Snowdonia progressed from conception, so to speak.”

    The challenge was accepted by Miss Jason, Betty Swollocks, Sissy Sucks and Stephanie Von Clitz and even Dave Lynn.

    Miss Roxy Ritz wants to ultimately get a minimum of 20 drag queens to take part with the aim of raising £10,000 for the causes. You can find out more on their facebook page.

    The four charities the queens aim to raise the cash for are: Macmillan Cancer Research, Terrence Higgins Trust, Cancer is a Drag and Sussex Beacon.
