RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist Ella Vaday lands movie role alongside Ed Sheeran

OHMYGOSSIP — Ella Vaday has landed a movie role.
The former finalist of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’, who finished as runner-up in the third series, is moving on to her next venture as she’s set to star in comedy flick ‘Sumotherhood’.
The film, which will be directed by Adam Deacon – the BAFTA-winning star of British indie dramas ‘Kidulthood’ and ‘Adulthood’ – will also feature a star-studded cast, including pop star Ed Sheeran, Danny Sapani, Jennifer Saunders and Kevin Bishop.
Ella told The Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column: “I was thrilled when I got this part. It’s incredible.
“I never expected it to happen. When you do an audition, most of the time you don’t get it.
“I’m a massive fan of Jennifer Saunders, and Ed Sheeran is one of the biggest songwriters in the world so I couldn’t ask for a better cast for my first film.”
The drag superstar has already filmed her scenes for the British action-comedy, which is set in London.
She added: “I play a drag queen and she’s a larger-than-life character that works at a club.
“She’s a bit flirtatious and sassy.”
Ella credits her success to her stint on the BBC show.
She said: “The show creates amazing opportunities. It’s absolutely fab.”
Adam recently described the movie as an “explosion of fun”, but admitted it also covers some “serious subject matters”.
He previously said “This film is going to be an explosion of fun with action and comedy at every turn, while also hitting some serious subject matters with raw emotion and harsh reality.”
