RuPaul's Drag Race star Bianca Del Rio has blasted an audience member for filming Everybody's Talking About Jamie on their phone

RuPaul's Drag Race star Bianca Del Rio has blasted a West End audience member who filmed a large part of the musical Everybody's Talking About Jamie on her phone.

The former winner, also known as Roy Haylock, wrote a scathing message that it is 'not a theme park' and needs respect.

She wrote on Twitter: 'Dear blonde b**** with glasses, Thanks for distracting the ENTIRE CAST and SEVERAL PEOPLE AROUND YOU as you filmed during all of ACT ONE with your phone in your hand.

'This is not a concert, theme park or even a cruise ship ... it's THE THEATRE! RESPECT IT ! @JamieMusical'

She is currently starring as Hugo/Loco Chanelle in the show at the Apollo Theatre in London.

The musical is inspired by the 2011 television documentary Jamie: Drag Queen At 16 and follows a teenager who lives on a council estate in Sheffield as he overcomes prejudice to become a drag queen.

It features music by The Feeling singer Dan Gillespie Sells and book and lyrics by Tom MacRae.

She took to Twitter following a performance at London's Apollo Theatre, and told audience members to 'respect' the theatre by putting their phones away

This is not the first time performers have criticised audience behaviour in a theatre.

Broadway legend Patti Lupone confiscated an audience member's phone during a performance of Shows For Days on July 3.

She famously stopped a performance of Gypsy when a phone flash went off and, in 2015, she snatched a phone from a woman who was texting in the middle of the play Shows For Days.

American drag queen Vicky Vox, based in California, shared her support along with other social media users

Last year, actors of Titanic The Musical at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham were horrified when two women, in the front row, watched England's World Cup penalty shootout against Colombia on their phones and screamed at each goal.

Cast member Niall Sheehy said they were the 'stupidest women on the planet' as they gave a thumbs up and replied 'I know - we won!!' when they were ordered to put their phones away.

Meanwhile theatre-goers at Doctor Faustus, starring Game Of Thrones actor Kit Harington, thought nothing of eating a box of chicken nuggets during a show in 2016.

One audience member walked on stage to plug his phone charger into a socket just before the Hand To God production started, in 2015.

Benedict Cumberbatch stepped outside a stage door, after his Hamlet performance at the Barbican, to tell audience members the use of cameras is 'mortifying' in 2015.

He claimed there is 'nothing that's less supportive or enjoyable as an actor on stage experiencing that'.
