RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Tayce pays homage to Kath & Kim with hilarious Kath Day-Knight impersonation
It’s one of the most important and memorable challenges of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
And Tayce owned Drag Race UK’s Snatch Game on Friday with a spot on impersonation of Jane Turner’s famous Kath & Kim character Kath Day-Knight.
At one point the Welsh beauty even called host RuPaul ‘a great hunk of spunk’ in a flawless Australian accent.

Tayce obviously sensed she had nailed the impression and called on another of Kath’s catchphrases when she told Ru, ‘I could feel it in my waters that I was going to get this right.’
However, she feigned offense when Ru asked her what she meant when she called a man a ‘chook,’ setting up another classic Jane Turner moment.
‘Excuse me, Ru. Are you talking about my chooky neck?’ Tayce asked, bobbing her head in a distinctly fowl-like manner, exactly like Kath in one of the Australian sitcom’s most memorable scenes.

The judges clearly loved what the drag queen brought to the table, with Michelle Visage commenting, ‘She freakin’ nailed it.’
RuPaul added: ‘Other people who have done characters like that would just rely totally on the material, but she sat into the material. That made it not just an imitation.’
Tayce took to Instagram on Sunday to sum up her feelings on her performance.
