Envy Peru reveals what's next after winning Drag Race Holland
She's the first Dutch Drag Race Superstar
After a difficult year for many, one good thing to come out of 2020 was the first ever Drag Race Holland! And it was Envy Peru who was crowned the first Dutch Drag Race Superstar, so we just had to get her on Hits Radio Pride.
Speaking to Jordan Lee, who presents Hits Radio Pride's Breakfast Show, Envy revealed how proud and happy she was to become the first winner of the series, representing both The Netherlands and South America, saying, "As a Peruvian queen.
"I'm very, very, very happy and very proud!"
Envy Peru recounted the moment she was asked to take part in the show, "I was on holiday in Peru with my boyfriend.
"So it was like, 'I need to go back because I need to prepare all my costumes and everything'," she explained, "Of course Corona was just happening..." However, luckily she managed to get everything sorted in time, and it all paid off!
Now that she has won the show and had some time to reflect on the win, Envy also revealed what was in store once 'Miss Rona goes on holiday', saying, "I want to do some tours with my ladies from Drag Race Holland and just show what we can do as Dutch queens. I hope everything will get better soon for all of us."
