Ru Paul's Drag Race winner 'Aquaria' slammed Liverpool club Heaven on social media today after she was refused entry to the bar on Sunday night.

Aquaria - who had several run-ins with her fellow contestants on the show - slammed the club after they barred her from entering because she was wearing tracksuit bottoms.

The youngest ever winner of the show at 22 - took to Twitter with a scathing rant about the way she had been treated at the "pathetic" venue.

She said on social media: "Change of schedule tonight... was headed with friends to Heaven in LIVERPOOL and was EXTREMELY HARASSED and humiliated by the HEINOUS security dude for even attempting to come into the venue wearing my everyday Adidas “trackies” which he insisted was against the dress code at the Pathetic establishment.

"Which basically translates to me that anyone wearing any sportswear (which is usually minority driven) is not allowed entrance regardless to the amount of money they wish to spend at the venue.

"I was told by many people from this city that if I was a complacent little person and “sincerely apologized” that I would be let in but even after apologizing to the horrendous staff they continued to insist that my adidas joggers were completely atrocious to wear in their pathetic venue."

In further tweets Aquaria called on her fans and friends to boycott the club following the incident, which had left her "nearly speechless."

UPDATE: Aquaria has issued the following statement in apology

A spokesperson for Heaven said: "We are saddened to see the response this morning from Ru Paul Drag Race Winner Aquaria.

"Heaven Liverpool has a long and proud history in the LGBT community, and we aim to be a safe space for all and anyone who wishes to visit.

"Over the years we have been proud to have hosted many of the Ru Paul Drag Queens in sell out shows and our home grown queens have learnt a lot from working with the more established performers.

"We have also helped to launch many local queens into the community.

"At Heaven we believe that everyone is equal, and it is with this in mind that the door policy was explained to Aquaria last night.

"Tracksuits and sportswear are not allowed across many (if not all) late night bars.

"Had we been able to have a reasonable discussion with Aquaria, we would have discussed the individual circumstance, however almost immediately, the situation escalated into one of abuse and outright profanity levelled at our staff.

"We wish Aquaria all the best with her UK tour."
