“It means everything.”
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star La Voix was left overjoyed after achieving a childhood dream this year.
2024 has been a big year for the star as she made it to the grand finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season six, but there’s another special accomplishment she ticked off her bucket list.
While La Voix won several Ru Peter badges during her time on Drag Race, she was also recently awarded a real-life Blue Peter badge.
Chatting exclusively with Digital Spy, La Voix explained what the highly sought after accolade means to her.
“Oh, it means everything!” La Voix exclaimed. “I’m of a generation where Blue Peter badges were huge.
“I remember, if you had a Blue Peter badge, you were the cool kid. I don’t think I ever even saw a real one in my childhood, but I was obsessed with Blue Peter and grew up with that amazing TV show.
“So, to have one, there was a small child inside me that was so ecstatic when I got that parcel.”
La Voix confessed that while she adores her Ru Peter badges, the Blue Peter one is extra special.
“That means more than anything,” she said. “More than my cycling proficiency, more than my RuPeter badges, more than a birthday badge. It’s incredible.
“I’ve been googling all the things that I can do with it. I can get into Legoland for free, I can get discounts on things… I mean, it’s opened all new doors for me. It’s amazing.”
Fans of La Voix can watch her perform over the festive period as she stars in a pantomime production of Aladdin at the Wycombe Swan theatre.
The star promised fans can expect “lots of panto madness”.
