Career
Krystal Versace started doing drag at the age of 13.[4] In August 2021, Versace was announced as one of the twelve contestants to be competing on the third series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. She won the first two main challenges, one of which including a top two lip sync against Victoria Scone to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler. In the ninth episode, she landed on bottom two with Vanity Milan and had to lip sync to "Hallucinate" by Dua Lipa, ultimately winning.
She made it to top three alongside Ella Vaday and Kitty Scott-Claus.

After a lip sync for the crown to Dusty Springfield's cover of "You Don't Own Me", Versace was declared victorious, becoming not only the franchise's youngest finalist, but also the youngest ever winner.
