RuPaul’s Drag Race UK filming was reportedly left in chaos when one of the contestants swore at the host – and judges – before ‘storming off’.
It is thought that the hopeful reacted badly to being told they were at risk of going home and refused to take part in the lip sync battle, reports the Daily Star.
Although the dramatic scenes were caught on camera, producers of the BBC show are said to still be deciding whether to include the moment in series two.

An insider said: ‘During filming for one episode, RuPaul announced which of the contestants were at risk of going home.
‘One of them did not take it well at all. They completely lost it. They swore at RuPaul and said they weren’t going to do the lip sync.
‘Then they stormed off. No-one could believe what they were seeing. It was incredibly disrespectful.’
They added that the contestant, whose identity is not know, was also heard telling the experts to ‘f*** off’ and held onto the grudge by refusing to take part in a reunion when filming was over.
MailOnline has contacted the BBC for a comment.

While speaking of her time as a judge, she added: ‘I like the ladies to look magnificent and make me laugh, so anyone who achieved that got my vote.’
