RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Tayce slashes hand open in painful accident as medics called in

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK was rocked by a medical emergency in scenes that aired tonight when Tayce cut her hand on the harsh material she was using for her runway look.

The drag queen opted to work with wire wool for this week’s challenge, which saw the contestants tasked with creating superhero outfits, however, disaster soon struck when she slashed her hand open.

The incident quickly caught the attention of the other queens, with A’Whora asking: ‘What’s wrong with Tayce?’

Meanwhile, Lawrence Cheney pointed out: ‘She’s not even started the costume and sh*t already hurts. Game over, babes.’

A medical expert was on-hand and quickly came to clear up Tayce’s cut.

‘Salt in the wound,’ she gasped as she was getting bandaged up.

The nurse then gave Tayce a glove for her hand to protect against the harsh material.

‘Oh much better,’ she observed. ‘I don’t know why I was doing it without a glove in the first place.’

Sadly for Tayce, the judges weren’t fans of her look – even though literal blood, sweat and tears went into it.

‘I think you’re a superstar… but this outfit for me is not going to cut it,’ Michelle Visage said in her critiques.

‘This to me is a corset with some stretched out Brillo pads stuck to it. It’s just not quality.’

Guest judge Maya Jama wasn’t so harsh, and offered: ‘I’d probably wear this at a Christmas party with a cute little skirt on the side.’

As a result, Tayce found herself lip-syncing for her life. It wasn’t her time to sashay away though, as Sister Sister was eliminated from the competition instead.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK airs Thursdays at 7pm on BBC iPlayer.
