OHMYGOSSIP — Baga Chipz would love to land a role in ‘Coronation Street’.
The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ star would rather have a job on the cobbles or settle for a cameo in the ITV soap opera than win an Oscar for a Hollywood movie.
She told Mirror Online: “If I could be on any show in the world … you could offer me the role of the new Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’, but if you gave me an opportunity to play someone in ‘Coronation Street’, I’d pick that role over Hollywood. My dream is to be on ‘Coronation Street’, I don’t think there’s anything bigger. I would rather be on Corrie than win a Grammy or an Oscar.
“Even if they don’t want me as a character, I’d love to do some storylines, get mugged, deal with homophobia. If they don’t want that I’d just be happy going into Roy’s and saying ‘I’ll have a barm cake’ and walk out. Even a cameo, I’d love to just go in The Kabin like, ‘Can I get 20 Mayfair Rita? Ta love, see you later,’ and walk out, that’s all I want.”
It comes after ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ season one winner, The Vivienne, revealed she is set to make her soap opera debut with a cameo appearance in ‘Emmerdale’, as part of the village’s first Pride day, which will see the church and LGBTQ+ communities join forces for a day of celebration.
She said: “I am so happy that I will be part of Emmerdale’s first-ever Pride. “My role is to officially open the event on the stage! “It’s great for ‘Emmerdale’ to be doing this and I’m delighted to be part of it. “We’re making that little bit of history for all the gays and the LGBTQ+ community and it’s just an absolute honour.”
The Vivienne will appear on screen at the end of June, and ‘Emmerdale’ producer Kate Brooks is looking forward to the drag queen adding her “own inimitable wit and fabulousness” to the ITV soap.
She said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome The Vivienne to ‘Emmerdale’ to help our villagers celebrate this year’s Pride event in style. “The Vivienne will add a dash of her own inimitable wit and fabulousness to the show and will certainly raise a few eyebrows in the process.”
