So it's unsurprising that a lot of Eurovision fans want her to present the land down under in the song contest.

Australia have competed three times in the Eurovision Song Contest after joining for the 60th anniversary celebrations, and Courtney would be more than happy to try and bring the title back to Oz.

Speaking to Daily Star Online, the RuPaul's Drag Race star said: "Oh my god, of course I would. People are always saying I should go for Eurovision, but it's kind of a record company thing.

"I did just release a single with Sony in Australia, a feature on another Sony artist's track, and I'm like, that's a toe in the door. Keep massaging this."

Courtney added: "Somebody told me the competitors in Eurovision aren't always from that country and then I thought – maybe that's my in. My mum was born in Denmark and my dad was born in Germany, and I'll be in the UK the whole summer."

The 35-year-old, real name Shane Jenek, first shot to fame on Australian Idol back in 2003, but achieved worldwide success when she competed on series six of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Courtney reached the final three of the competition, and has gone on to form a girl band with fellow queens Alaska and Willam – and the trio recently appeared in Little Mix's Power video.

But after seven years of living in the States, Courtney is getting back to her roots with her new show, The Girl From Oz.

She told us: "It's basically a love letter to Australia. There's lots of Australian music, videos of Australian culture, different stories. There's so much music that people know and love that they don't know is Australian – obviously there's Kylie, but Air Supply, AC/DC, The Divynls… a lot of songs written by Australians, particularly Peter Allen. He wrote Arthur's Theme, and Don't Cry Out Loud, which possibly has the worst message of any song ever written.

"It's me and a piano or a keyboard, a few tracks. I open singing Xanadu wearing a pair of ruby red roller-skates. Except I can't skate. You know at the front they have stoppers? I walk on the stoppers, it's safer."

The show will be performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as London's Underbelly Festival.

Courtney said: "I love the UK because the audiences are the best in the world for what you want from an audience. They're so enthusiastic.

"I love festivals, so I'm excited to be at the mother of all festivals."

The Girl From Oz is on from August 13 to 26 at the Edinburgh Fringe Underbelly, and on August 9 and 11 at the Underbelly Festival Southbank, London. For more info, visit edfringe.com or underbellyfestival.com.
