Veronica Green is back to battle it out to become UK’s next Drag Superstar in RuPaul’s Drag Race

Date published: 31 August 2021


RuPaul’s Drag Race UK series two contestant Veronica Green, originally from Rochdale, will feature in series three of the reality contest.

Veronica – real name Kevin Grogan – had been a contestant in the previous series, but was forced to drop out after testing positive for Covid-19. She was invited back to the show by RuPaul, making her the first queen to appear in two seasons in the same year.

 

 

 

Kevin, 34, is a former pupil at Springhill High School (now Kingsway Park) and was raised in Rochdale before moving to London to further his career in musical theatre.

Veronica proved she was definitely one to watch in series two after she was crowned overall winner of the second episode, and never landed in the bottom two throughout her time on the show. The ‘triple threat’ is also the first queen to return to the show with a win already under her belt.

Last season saw Miss Green earn herself a RuPeter badge as the overall winner on the runway and of the maxi-challenge ‘Rats – The Rusical’, where her singing, acting, and dancing skills wowed the judges after taking control of the seductive lead character ‘Evita Von Fleas’.

 

 

In episode three, she was also a joint-winner in the quick drag mini-challenge alongside Tayce and in the ‘Who Wore It Best’ challenge.

More recently, Veronica released her debut single, performed at Manchester Pride in August 2021 and graced the cover of Gay Times for a second time.

 

 

RuPaul's Drag Race UK series 3 will return to BBC Three and iPlayer in September.
