Trivia

• This is the first UK Season...
  • ... to have 8 contestants who currently live in London.
  • ... to have a returning contestant from a previous season, Veronica Green from UK Season 2.
  • ... to have a cis-gender woman drag queen compete, Victoria Scone.
  • ... to have two 19 year-old contestants compete, Krystal Versace and Anubis, after Scaredy Kat from Season 1.
    • Coincidentally, Krystal placed first, winning the season and Anubis last, also winning Miss Congeniality.
  • ... to have an episode where no one won the maxi challenge.
  • ... to have the same bottom two in two consecutive episodes, Charity Kase and Scarlett Harlett in episodes 4 and 5.
  • ... to feature a double elimination.
  • ... for the final lipsync song to not be sung by a man.
• This is the second UK Season...
  • ... to air in 2021, after UK Season 2.
    • This is likely due to the original air-date of UK Season 2 being pushed back when the UK shut down amid the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
  • ... to have a contestant depart for medical reasons (Victoria Scone), after Veronica Green on Season 2.
  • ... to feature a quadruple win between Choriza May, Ella Vaday, River Medway and Vanity Milan, after A'Whora, Bimini Bon-Boulash, Lawrence Chaney and Tayce on UK Season 2.
• This is the third UK season...
  • ... where the winner of reading challenge gets eliminated in the very same episode and places sixth, after Crystal on season 1 and Sister Sister on season 2.
    • ... however, this season, with Choriza May, the placement was shared with River Medway due to double sashay.
