They were the sixth bearded act ever to take part in the Drag Race franchise and the first to appear on one judged by RuPaul.

During their run, they won four main challenges, becoming the fourth contestant in the show's history to do so, and made it to the finale without ever being up for elimination.

On November 2022, Danny was announced as the winner of the show.

Speaking to Gay Times about being the first act on RuPaul's Drag Race UK to win with a beard, they said:  "Listen, I’m not the best bearded queen in the world. It’s quite subtle until you get close and you notice it, and that’s my thing. I like that.

"But, there’s so many different kinds of drag. It’s not just about gay men in dresses, and it shouldn’t be.

"Drag is about being anything you wanna be. It should be open to anyone."
