Dubbed as the Queen of the North, ontario born drag queen Brooke Lynn Hytes is set to be the first Canadian contestant to appear on Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
She will be featured in season 11 of the popular show, in which queens compete in a series of weekly challenges to prove they have the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to be crowned the winner and Ru Paul’s next Drag Superstar.
Brooke Lynn Hytes is the drag persona of Brock Hayhoe, who originally hails from Toronto. This queen also grew up in Toronto before travelling the world as a professional ballet dancer.
Hopefully this Queen of the North, and former Miss Continental pageant winner, will dazzle the judges!
