“Bones” Reaches the Final of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK

Mottram CC will be tuned into the final of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK tomorrow (Thursday, 27th), as we cheer on fabulous local drag performer Bones!

Known off-stage as Paul Greaves, Bones is the son of proud mum and stepdad Diane and Ged Fildes. Diane and Ged are a huge part of Mottram CC and we will be joining them in nervously watching along as Bones battles it out in the final.

Bones’ mix of charisma, nerve and talent has dazzled viewers, and as the final approaches, excitement is bubbling, with friends, family and supporters rallying behind her.

RuPaul’s Drag Race is a worldwide hit that has helped bring drag culture into the global spotlight, turning artists into household names. We are delighted one of our own is now part of that legacy.

The final comes after 10 weeks of nerve-shredding elimination rounds, with Mum  Diane one of a select few lucky enough to be seeing the final early at a special screening in London. No spoilers please Di!

No matter the outcome on Thursday, Bones has already made "herstory" and undoubtedly inspired countless others to embrace who they are with confidence and joy.

Let’s cheer her on to the crown!
