Divina De Campo is an English drag performer, actor, singer and director who placed as the runner-up on Season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Drag Name Origin[]

"So Divina is Italian for Divine who was a big inspiration for me. I have a strong falsetto and I use that a lot as part of my acts and then "De Campo" means "field", but I got that really because I'm super camp. I think that drag names should give you a flavour of what you're going to get so I think Divina De Campo does that — it tells you there's gonna be more than you're expecting." Divina De Campo explains her drag name on an ITW.

Divina's drag name is also a partial pun on the Italian chef Gino D'Acampo, a famous TV personality in the United Kingdom.
