Career
Victoria Scone began her drag career in 2018 and quickly made a name for herself in the drag community. She chose her stage name to reflect her British heritage and playful personality, explaining that ‘Scone’ is both an edible treat and a pun (‘Victoria’s gone!’).
In 2021 Victoria made history by becoming the first cisgender female contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, season 3. Although she placed in the top two in the first episode, she had to withdraw in the third episode due to an injury.
