Krystal Versace started doing drag at the age of 13.[4] She was inspired to start drag after watching Sasha Velour compete on RuPaul's Drag Race.[1] In August 2021, she was announced as one of the twelve contestants to be competing on the third series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. She won the first two main challenges, one of which including a top two lip sync against Victoria Scone to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler. In the ninth episode, she landed on bottom two with Vanity Milan and had to lip sync to "Hallucinate" by Dua Lipa, ultimately winning and moving on to the top three alongside Ella Vaday and Kitty Scott-Claus. As part of the last main challenge, they had to write, record, and perform their own verse to a remix of "Hey Sis, It's Christmas" by RuPaul. After a lip sync for the crown to Dusty Springfield's cover of "You Don't Own Me", Krystal Versace was declared victorious,[3] becoming not only the franchise's youngest finalist, but also the youngest ever winner.[4]
