Trivia

  • Even though her name is a pun on the UK singer Cheryl Cole, many international fans who are unfamiliar with Cole think her name is a pun meaning "Share a Hole", presumably a glory hole.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Cheryl does not have the worst track record to reach top four on Drag Race; with the actual holder of the record being Roxxxy Andrews on All Stars 2.
    • However, at 4th place, Cheryl is the highest placing contestant in the entire Drag Race franchise to never win a Maxi Challenge or at least place in the top on any episode.
    • She is the first contestant to place in the bottom three consecutively in the first three episodes.
  • Cheryl is seen out of drag at the Season 8's finale, where she is in the audience. She is caught on camera between Laila McQueen's and Cynthia Lee Fontaine's runway presentations.
  • Cheryl's Drag Race journey is much like that of Shannel from Season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race. They both placed 4th on a series' first season, did not win a main challenge, were sent home by a contestant who ends up placing 3rd (Baga Chipz and Rebecca Glasscock) and were eliminated on their second lip sync for their life.
  • Cheryl Hole was the first ever contestant to receive critiques from the judges on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
  • Cheryl Hole is the only queen to have never won a challenge prior to starring in RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World (discounting Pangina Heals, who had never been a contestant prior to competing in the series).
    • With Pangina winning the first challenge and Cheryl being eliminated on Episode 2, Cheryl remains as the only contestant this season to have never won a challenge.
  • She is friends with British singer, Adele. Adele stopped by London nightclub G-A-Y after she was on The Graham Norton Show and met Cheryl.
  • Cheryl was added to the Season Pass of RuPaul's Drag Race Superstar in November 2022, alongside the tag "Diva".
