Scaredy Kat surprised her RuPaul’s Drag Race UK rivals on episode one by announcing not only was she just 19 years old when filming, but that she isn’t actually gay.

The drag queen told the rest of the queens that she has a girlfriend, who is also a drag queen called Pussy Kat – so you know we had to go looking for the other half of this power couple.

Pussy Kat is a femme queen with nearly 5,000 Instagram followers of her own, who explains in her bio that she is ‘vegan as f***’.

She has a very gothy drag aesthetic, serving us Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes with her striking shoots.




Not much else is known about Scaredy’s girlfriend, except that she also lives in Wiltshire and is very supportive of her boyfriend.

Since Scaredy was announced as part of the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, she has been posting pictures of the queen and sharing supportive messages, including one which read: ‘So so proud of you for pushing through and owning your anxiety.’

Pussy Kat even flew to New York with her boyfriend as he promoted the UK series at DragCon.

Over Pride month, Pussy Kat explained that while they are in a man-woman relationship, they are both still queer, and admitted that it annoyed her when people assumed they are straight.

She wrote: ‘Almost no one understands our relationship and the “roles” we play in it except us. People tend to put things into categories in order to understand them, so for us normally it’s “gay guy and best friend”, “straight couple”, “gay friends” etc.

‘Yes it is annoying (!!!) but you can’t control or change what people assume about you. Being perceived as male and female/hetero by society doesn’t make either of us any less queer. It’s who we are – regardless of what other people label us.

‘Pride is a time where we can be accepted by society (in the country we live in) without being being put into gender/relationship roles (as much). But pride is not the only time we are queer. We are queer all year round, every single day. No matter who you are, what you look like or what kind of relationship you are in you do not need to justify your queerness to anyone. ✘ ✘ ✘

‘Anyway this whole speech was basically to say that if anyone calls me straight again or tries to corner my boyfriend for a “we’re all straight men here” chat I STG.’

Speaking about being bisexual with Gay Times, Scaredy – who admits her girlfriend taught her how to paint her face – said: ‘I’m not gay, you don’t have to be the stereotypical thing that you expect drag queens to be.

‘I think some people will love it and I think some people will hate it, and some people won’t care. I feel like there will be varied reactions.



‘We’re a couple and because we’re both bi, we just love people.’

Being teenage and bisexual weren’t the only shocks Scaredy had in store for her rivals on Drag Race, as she admitted in the workroom that she’s never performed in public and has never even seen a drag show.

However, she may be a force to be reckoned with, after winning the first mini-challenge of the series.

Scaredy Kat faces stiff competition from Crystal, The Vivienne, Vinegar Strokes, Sum Ting Wong, Baga Chipz, Cheryl Hole, Blu Hydrangea and Divina De Campo – with Gothy Kendoll becoming the first queen to get the chop from RuPaul.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK continues on Thursdays at 8pm on BBC Three.
