Black Country queen crowned winner of acting challenge of RuPaul's Drag Race UK

The performer, now based in London, was crowned the winner of the acting challenge, that saw the nine remaining queens split into groups to act out scenes in period drama Downtown Draggy.

Baga's performance was praised by judges, and saw the Black Country artist awarded the show's 'Ru Peter Badge', following in fellow contestant The Vivenne's footsteps.

Birmingham queen Sum Ting Wong was also given positive critiques and has gone through to the next round.

The 30-year-old performer also spoke candidly during the episode about the relationship between her family and drag.

“I don’t want to throw it in their face like: ‘Ah look you’ve got a gay son, ah look he dresses as a woman as his job.’” Sum Ting Wong, the character of Brummie Bo Zeng, explained, after revealing she keeps her personal life and performing life separate.

This week's lip sync battle saw youngest Drag Race contestant Scaredy Kat and Irish queen Blu Hydrangea face off to Bananarama's Venus. Twenty-year-old Scaredy Kat became the second queen to go home, following Gothy Kendoll's exit in the first week.

The eight remaining queens are competing to be crowned the first champion of the UK version of the hit show.

The winner will be rewarded with their own programme produced by the team behind RuPaul In Hollywood.

The US series of the show has been a hit around the world and has won a string of Emmys.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK continues on BBC Three.
