A top US drag queen from RuPaul's Drag Race revealed he was mugged in Dublin.

"We are okay! Just lost money and cards and ID so we are basically moneyless right now until we get things sorted. Otherwise we are fine."

Hundreds of fans in Ireland responded to the tweet with good wishes and offers of help - with one follower even saying she'd get her gran involved.

She wrote: "Pop into my gran’s she’ll give you tea and biscuits, she even has a photo of the Pope in her kitchen x".
