Career

On 21 August 2019, Hole was announced as one of the 10 queens to be competing in the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.[4] In episode 6, she lip synched to Cheryl's Call My Name in front of guest judge Cheryl, and sending Blu Hydrangea home. She was eliminated in episode 7 (the penultimate episode) after losing a lip sync to Baga Chipz to Amy Winehouse's Tears Dry on Their Own.[5] Hole reached fourth place in the contest.[6]

On 28 November 2019, Hole, alongside the cast of series one of RuPauls Drag Race UK, embarked on a 12-gig UK tour,[7] hosted by Drag Race alum Alyssa Edwards.[8][9]

Trivia
  • Even though her name is a pun off of the UK singer Cheryl Cole, many U.S. fans who are unfamiliar with Cole think her name is a pun meaning Share a Hole, presumably a glory hole.
  • Cheryl is set to be married to her fiance in 2021.
  • She's the first queen to place low three times consecutively, in the first three episodes. Miss Fame placed low three times in a row, but not in the first three episodes.
    • Also, she is the third queen to place in a bottom spot in the first 3 episodes, the first being Akashia, second being Chi Chi DeVayne on All Stars 3. 
  • Contrary to popular belief, Cheryl in fact does not have the worst track record for a queen who placed 4th. If you include All Stars, the actual holder of the record is Roxxxy Andrews.
