RuPaul's Drag Race's Ella Vaday: 'I was so body conscious - I've learnt to accept myself'


EXCLUSIVE: Nick Collier - better known as Ru Paul's Drag Race UK star Ella Vaday - says he has had to work hard to accept the way he looks after spending his younger years judging himself

The pair recently appeared in ITV1's festive The Real Full Monty: Jingle Balls, baring all in the name of charity, and Ella's incredible performance of "It All Starts With A Squeeze" - with Coleen Nolan and as backing dancers - proved they had well and truly found their groove. Ella Vaday (Nick Collier) appeared on RuPaul's Drag Race UK with Kitty Scott-Claus and Krystal Versace (Image: BBC/World of Wonder/Guy Levy)"I was so body conscious in high school,” he admits, adding that he only came out aged around 20. Proving the point, Nick and Ella got their kit off on The Real Monty, alongside the likes of TOWIE legends Gemma Collins and Pete Wicks, and former royal butler Paul Burrell.
