‘Any time I’ve got a spare few hours or even if his mates are over he’ll make us sit down to get our make-up done.‘He’s got a bit of a unique selling point too as most drag queens mime their songs but he’s a trained singer and so won’t have to. Mattie learned to sew in GCSE textiles which has been key for his drag career as he is able to save money by creating his own costumes.

Being into drag at school was difficult for Matti but he was determined to pursue the art and even went to prom as Amber Lynne.Matti practices makeup on his mum Claire ‘He was even brave enough to go to prom in drag, luckily he was supported by all his friends and teachers.’Matti said: ‘It’s just feels normal to me to have such a supportive mum, but I do realise how lucky I am.
