Drag queens winning Drag Race is annual. A drag queen winning Big Brother is historical.

However… where’s the fun in having a drag sister without a little shade, leave it to comedy queens Trixie Mattel and Bianca Del Rio to spill the T…
Is there a way I can support @courtneyact but not her side pony? pic.twitter.com/PljB1C4LMh

Reunited
Courtney aka Shane Janek, also spent yesterday evening catching up with fellow big brother housemate Andrew Brady. The pair wined and dined in a London restaurant.
Can’t wait for a reunion with one and only @courtneyact tonight? and telling Shane J about the unbelievable amount of love you’ve all shown for him and I ❤️ #Shandrew #DCC

It has been announced that Andrew is set to be a judge at a Porn Idol, a gay club night in London’s nightclub Heaven where members of the audience strip to be in with a chance to win a cash prizes.
Promoters said: “Anyone who calls Ann Widdecombe a c**t deserves to judge G-A-Y Porn Idol.”
In an exclusive interview with Gay Times magazine, he spoke of the feud with Widdecombe saying that homophobia is homphobia regardless of age. He said:
“Someone like Ann has been in the public eye, has been educated, and I don’t think people in that instance can be forgiven.
“Prejudice is prejudice. It doesn’t matter what shape it comes in, or size, or age – it’s still prejudice.
“I don’t want to compare the two to an extreme, but if you look at Donald Trump, he’s 71-years-old and we’re not using his age as an excuse as to why he’s getting away with all this stuff,” he continued.
Since leaving the Big Brother house, Courtney has reflected on the support she has received saying “It’s amazing to think that the public have chosen me, I guess it’s validation of the things I came here believing in.”
“My inspiration for coming into the house was a teenage boy who didn’t quite know where he belonged or how he fit in, and not knowing what that meant.
“I learned that it’s okay to be different.”
Condragulations Shane J, you’re a winner baby!
