Bestie Test with Drag Race UK's Cheryl Hole and Blu Hydrangea

I think I have the puffiest puss.

It's fat.

[laughs]

I've told you off for when you're chew gum.

She's like this.

I'm the number one

chewing gum champion.

How dare you?

And that is lies.

Hello, divas.

It's me, Cheryl Hole.

And me, Blu Hydrangea.

And today, we are playing...

[Both] Glamour's Bestie Test.

It's us.

How did we meet?

Well, we met in the workroom

of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, season one.

And my first impression of Cheryl

was that she was obsessed with me.

[laughs]

Can you blame me?

Looking around the workroom,

I think it was just very clear

that we were gonna get on straight away,

because we had similar approaches

and everybody else was old, so.

[both laugh]

Three, two, one.

[Both] Action.

Round one.

Do you even know me?

I'd like to think so,

but I feel like I'm gonna fail terribly at this.

Oh, well I know you inside and out, ding.

What is my biggest pet peeve?

Well, it's something I do to wind you up,

something chronic,

and it's drag queens that don't wear earrings.

Oh.

Hence why I'm wearing them today, to prove a point.

She's wearing earrings today.

She's not wearing tits.

That's my other pet peeve.

And you're not wearing knickers,

which is my other pet peeve.

But you got one of them.

I'll give you that.

Okay, I wanna see if you know this,

because I tweet about this a lot.

What would give Cheryl the ick?

People that chew with their mouth open?

So you.

[laughs]

Hey.

You have never told me that before.

I've told you off for when you chew gum.

[Blu] Oh, it is all coming out.

I'm the number one chewing gum champion.

[Blu laughs]

Wait, but what was your ick from your tweet?

Boys that wear underwear under their swimwear

is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life.

Like, you have the little mesh bit.

It looks after your willy.

You do not need to wear your Calvin Klein's

underneath your swimsuit.

It's just like, no.

I look at boys and I go, eh.

Right, number three.

What is my alcoholic beverage of choice?

Oh, it's a vodka Coke, all the time.

Three months ago, that would be correct.

But I've recently been informed by my boyfriend

that I am a diva on vodka Coke.

[laughs]

So I've had to change to Bacardi and Coke.

Not us being very drunk one night in Mavericks,

in Belfast, and she goes,

You played it safe on Drag Race.

[both laugh]

Well, I'm allowed to, because I won.

Yeah, you can now.

No, but not at that time.

I was on the vodka that night.

I was on the vodka.

Who is my celebrity crush?

At the meet and greet, we always pick out little,

like, cute twinks.

Well, you pick out the twinks.

I'll pick out the dads that bring their children.

Oh, okay.

Who is a daddy?

Pierce Brosnan?

Too much of a daddy.

Shane Richie?

[both laugh]

Okay, I'll give you a hint.

His son has just got married.

Oh, David Beckham.

Okay, fair.

Where would you find me at a shindig, at a party?

Ooh, the dance floor, the dance floor.

Truly.

I am those people,

if the tunes are pumping, I am not leaving that dance floor.

The minute there's a shit song, I'm gone.

If there was good food, we'd be both be at the food place.

Oh, if it's a beige buffet, I'm there.

[laughs]

What's that, like sausage rolls?

Sausage rolls, Quiche Lorraine, cheese and onion rolls,

Chicken dippers, nachos, crispies.

It's brilliant.

Oh my goodness.

I'm queen of the buffet.

[groovy music]

Now it's time for round two,

and we are playing

Who's who?

Who are you?

Oh, I don't know her.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

I have to say it's my only skill set.

So let me have one thing.

Do you wanna rematch?

No.

Why would I show myself up like that?

Obviously she's gonna do better.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

What makes you think that I'm high maintenance?

I've seen you in a dressing room, madame.

[Blu laughs]

Johnson, don't let this touch the floor.

How dare you?

And that is lies.

Maybe I'm high maintenance on a vodka Coke.

[both laugh]

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

I'm not gonna lie.

If it came to a life or death situation,

I feel like you would run for the hills.

I feel like both of us would just try and save ourselves.

Yeah, I would give the skin off my own back

to make a coat for somebody.

I'm a very caring and nurturing person.

And she looks after everyone.

She's a hostess with the mostess, and she,

yeah, would absolutely defend me in a heartbeat.

That's why we were friends.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

I was actually gonna say you,

because she's been cracking up.

You could open your mouth and she laughs.

See, I tell jokes,

I make Ru laugh.

If you just say anything in an Essex accent,

Ru's like...

[laughs]

I'm not gonna say,

but roll the clips of every time Ru's said,

You alright, babes?

I've broken Ru.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

Yeah.

There's no question about that.

Undisputed, I think.

I walked into the set today

and before she could even say, Hello,

she said something about my UGG boots, and I was like.

[Blu laughs]

It's not in a mean way.

No.

Or a horrible way.

No.

It's just poking fun.

It's a very Northern Irish thing to do.

Make fun of your friends and take the mick.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

Now, this is no, like, sizes,

but I think I have the puffiest puss.

It's fat.

[laughs]

I was just gonna say

that you don't conceal it with, like, panties or anything.

Like, I wear a wee panty.

I make it look like there's nothing there.

Well, I have my tucking knick knack paddy wacks,

but it's still large and in charge.

[Blu] Oh.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

Neither of us.

I'm gonna say you.

I'd like to say that I take good leadership,

but when it comes down to stressful situations

like Covid-tina and parties that shouldn't have happened...

[high-pitched scream]

I don't think I would deal well with the stress

of having to, you know, listen to lots of people talking.

See, I'm queen of the mother-tucking world,

so, for me to be prime minister

would be like a real big step down.

You know what I mean?

Plus, I thought that you'd be a good prime minister

'cause your hair kind of reminds me of Boris Johnson's.

[Blu laughs]

Is this over soon?

[both laugh]

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

I just don't have a filter as much as you, I think.

Maybe I'm just like throwing Northern Ireland in it,

but I feel like we just don't think

before we speak, back home.

But, I've learned the hard way

that sometimes you can't say stuff in the moment

because you'll learn to regret it.

[clock ticking]

[timer rings]

Why am all the bad ones?

You get the ones

Oh, who's the nicer person?

No, because I've called her out several times.

'Cause I know she's lying.

Like, it's always the,

I'm coming down now from the hotel room.

I'm coming down now. Oh yeah.

Oh, sorry, I'm just in the lift.

I'm coming down now.

And she's having a shit on the toilet.

[laughs]

Yeah, that is true.

[whimsical music]

Yes.

I'm on a winning streak, baby.

Do I not win any money for this either?

No, no.

Just a badge or something?

Yeah.

Rule Britannia.

At the end of the day, I saw it coming

because the stars haven't aligned just yet.

2023,

maybe that'll be my winning year.

[laughs]

And you know what?

I'm just glad that I got to share today with you.

Now let the music play.

[both laugh]
