Named after the flowers in her granny’s garden - BluHydrangea_ captivated, shocked and delighted everyone who watched. Read our interview with Blu from The Icons and Idols Issue here:
. One of the youngest queens on the show – which has, in one short season, already garnered a cult following that its US counterpart would be very proud of – Blu was a surprise breakout star, making it all the way to the quarter-final episode before finally being eliminated. She emerged as a frontrunner from the beginning. In the show’s first episode, for a ‘hometown look’, Blu created a look based on Belfast’s iconic Harland and Wolff cranes, from the docklands where the Titanic was built.
If it sounds like a lot of pressure, that’s because it is. It’s also a lot of fun, and a far cry from Blu’s pre-show life. Alongside performing in drag two or three nights a week in Belfast, Blu worked at a make- up counter in a shopping centre. Despite being a fan of the show since its inception – when it aired she was barely in secondary school – Blu, whose real name is Joshua Cargill, only started doing drag in earnest after dropping out of university.
