Cherry Valentine is the stage name of George Ward, a drag performer and one of the Season 2 contestants of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Drag Name Origin

In a Q&A session on Drag Race UK twitter, Cherry answered a question from a fan who asked her how she came up with her drag name. Cherry replied that she was inspired by a cherry-scented bath wash she used when showering, and because she loves her grandmother who likes drinking sherry (cause it sounds like cherry). As for 'Valentine', it was because she loves Valentines Day and love.
