She stormed the competition, came out on top and snatched the crown after reaching the finale alongside Kitty Scott-Claus and Ella Vaday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krystal quickly became a fan favourite. She secured one huge fan base and has gone on to curate a large following who has shown her nothing but support since she won the crown at the last hurdle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>GOSSIP: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/talent-shows\/rupauls-drag-race\/drag-race-uks-starlet-spills-all-on-backstage-breakdown\">Drag Race UK&#8217;s Starlet spills all on backstage breakdown<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-brought-us-together-as-a-family\">&#8216;It brought us together as a family&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, the passing of Drag Race UK star Cherry Valentine sent shockwaves through the community.

It&#8217;s been really difficult for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Everything I believe in has a reason to it and everything has a message and a light to it even though it is so dark. It brought us all together, we&#8217;re all mourning together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It brought up back together as a family and I think just as queer people, it just reminds you how we all have that bond, and we all go through stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/talent-shows\/rupauls-drag-race\/breaking-tributes-pour-in-for-drag-race-star-cherry-valentine-after-sudden-death\">Tributes pour in for Drag Race star Cherry Valentine after sudden death<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-always-been-my-dream\">&#8216;It&#8217;s always been my dream&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CWvCpC5oDc2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

When asking Krystal about her time fronting such a huge production, she was thrilled to tell us it&#8217;s always been her dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m literally having the best time, it&#8217;s always what I&#8217;ve wanted to do.

A lot of people would say they hate sleeping on the tour bus but I love it. I&#8217;d say the hardest part of the tour is when you&#8217;ve finished a show and you have to pack up.

Don&#8217;t compare yourself to anyone. Have fun! It&#8217;s the start of your career, not the end.
