Scaredy Kat on Her "RuPaul's Drag Race U.K." Debut: "It Was Terrifying!"

Meow!

Even though Scaredy Kat was the second queen sent home on RuPaul's Drag Race U.K., the Wiltshire-based contestant has made herstory for the competition series.

At age 19, Scaredy is the show's youngest contestant ever, and it was Scaredy's drag performance debut. Oh, and Scaredy also has a girlfriend!

"I was very terrified, hence the name," Scaredy recently revealed in an interview with NewNowNext. "Overall, I was just really excited to be a part of it."

Ms. Kat was nervous about being such a young queen walking into a room of drag veterans, noting that she thought "they were going to hate me, but it turned out okay. We all got along in the end and I liked all of them so that is all that counts."

Filming was frightening for Scaredy, especially because of how little time she had to get into drag, but she also recalls how intimidating it was being directed by Michelle Visage during the "Downton Draggy" challenge:

"It was terrifying! She just sat there with all of her hair and it was really scary but fun. It was nuts! I was like, 'What am I doing here?' It was fun, really."

While many drag queens dream of eventually getting on Drag Race, it is not usually where one begins her drag career. So when asked what's next for Scaredy, she mentions her new music video, "Bedroom Queen," which Scaredy created with her girlfriend.

"We have more videos coming out in the future," Scaredy says. "We want to show more people art can be more besides a brick on a white wall."

RuPaul's Drag Race U.K. airs Fridays at 8/7c on Logo.
