Elektra Fence is a British drag performer and one of the contestants of the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
Drag Name Origin
"I called myself Elektra Fence because I’m full of energy and millions of people have seen me be stupid, when a film of me went viral. A friend filmed me as I accidentally electrocuted myself on an electric fence. I thought it wasn’t working! I don’t recommend it, as it blew me off my feet and it really, really hurt!"[1]

Memorable Quotes

- "Thank you very much, Ruth."[4] (when being told she'd survived the lip sync)

Trivia
- Elektra Fence is the second contestant in the Drag Race franchise to be named "Elektra", after Elektra Shock from the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.
- Coincidentally, both of them ended up lip syncing for their life in episode 1 (which they both survived).
- Elektra Fence (as Julian Riley) was featured in a viral video where he nervously tries to touch an electric fence, and ends up electrocuting himself and falling in cattle faeces.[5] This is the inspiration behind his drag name.
- Elektra revealed on PopBuzz that she was possibly disqualified for jumping off stage during the lip sync against Vanity, as RuPaul and production told her not to.[6]
- This makes her the third contestant to jump off the stage during a lip sync, after Sahara Davenport in Season 2 and Kennedy Davenport in Season 7 of the US edition.
- The official X account for RuPaul's Drag Race UK has used Elektra's exit line as the account's name, location and biography during the week following her elimination. This was done as a joke since her exit line was dubbed "potential meme material."[7][8]
- Had Elektra reached Snatch Game, she would have portrayed Jane McDonald.[9]
- Elektra voted River Medway for Miss Congeniality.[10]
