Finally, Drag Race UK series 2 has arrived to banish the January blues and, with the likes of Lawrence Chaney, is already serving us iconic looks, dances, humour and a dose of colour and escapism we all need so much right now.
What Prize Does The RuPaul's Drag Race UK Winner Get?
As the queens were introduced to the world, one contestant in particular has captured the nation's heart already with their incredible humour and honesty – and to make things even better, they won the very first challenge!
We are, of course, talking about the already iconic Glaswegian queen, Lawrence Chaney, so let's dive into everything we know about them so far.
You may be surprised to find out Lawrence Chaney is just 23 years old!
She slayed the runway and photography challenge in the very first episode of Drag Race UK series two and is very much on the judges' radar.
We're suddenly feeling like we haven't accomplished much with our lives...

We'll do you one better and give you Lawrence's Instagram and Twitter handle so you don't miss a single one of their iconic looks.
All of her Drag Race looks so far have been posted to social media.

As you may have deciphered from Lawrence's incredibly thick accent, this queen is from Glasgow, Scotland.
They've already dropped a reference to *that* iconic video of the mum yelling at her two children which birthed the incredible catch phrase, 'desgusting!'
Unlike many queens, Lawrence has kept their real name, (Lawrence, duh) in their drag name, adding Chaney on, but their real surname is in fact Lawrence Maidment.
