Throwing shade is nothing new on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, only the queens aren't usually insulting their own mums.

That changed during Thursday's (November 14) Drag Race UK semi-final when the four remaining queens were joined by a loved one for the traditional makeover challenge. This caused some problems for Baga Chipz.

When the show's resident Frock Destroyer teamed up with her mum Jo (aka Sacka Spudz), she reverse-engineered a Kardashian-themed routine that didn't go down well with the judges.

During the evaluations on the runway, a hugely awkward turn of events took place when Alan Carr questioned why Baga had seemingly put so little effort into Sacka's make-up.

BBC

"I would have liked your mum to have looked as sexy and sassy as you did," Alan complained. "You look like you're going to a posh lunch, whereas she looks like she's going trick-or-treating."

Baga then raised the ire of fans by defending his costuming choices, saying: "It's really hard to dress a woman of a certain age. She doesn't want to show her legs. She's got a bit of a tum. You know what I mean?"

BBC

"We celebrate that tum," Michelle Visage interrupted, with Baga insisting: "Yeah, but I didn't want her to look like she was pregnant like Divina's sister [who actually was pregnant]… It was really hard. If I had a younger girl like these two [Cheryl and Divina]."

"Oh my god," Michelle interrupted again. "You're just throwing her out there. Her tummy, her face, her age!"

BBC

When RuPaul asked to hear from Sacka about her "experience", she barely got a word in before Baga again interrupted to say she was proud of her mum making it down the runway because she's "blind as a bat".

This was the final straw for viewers, who couldn't believe Baga was age and body-shaming her own mum on the Drag Race UK runway:

I’m feeling so sorry for Bags’s mum ☹️ bless her, she was really putting herself out there when she was clearly nervous. I’m not sure if Baga is trying to get laughs or what?! Poor lass man 😩 #DragRaceUK — Leigh 🌼 (@leighjadehanley) November 14, 2019

Okay is it just me or was Baga being really rude about her mum on the main stage? That was so uncomfortable to watch #DragRaceUK — Amy / Salt and Chic (@saltandchic) November 14, 2019

When the queens headed back to the Werk Room for Untucked, even Baga's best mate The Vivienne was disturbed seeing Jo breaking down into tears.

"I don't think Baga means anything bad by these comments she said on the runway, but I know if it was my mum, she'd be really hurt by them," The Vivienne insisted.

After The Vivienne demanded that Baga apologise to her mum in front of the group, Baga conceded: "I know haven't upset you but if I have, I'm sorry."

BBC

Back on stage, Ru and judge Michelle Visage were trying to put the very awkward on-stage strop into some context while they were evaluating the queens.

"It felt like there was some unfinished business between them," Ru sussed, with Michelle agreeing: "Girl, 100%. It was just rough and I don't think Baga handled it the right way… It was Baga-tage."

BBC

In the end, Baga ended up in the bottom two along with Cheryl Hole, yet she survived her Lip Sync for Your Life to Amy Winehouse's 'Tears Dry On Their Own' to make the top three with The Vivienne and Divina de Campo.

She has also responded to the backlash on Twitter, writing simply: "I love my mum so much! So proud of you!!! 💖💖💖"
