Leak & Sip Podcast 'Sister Sister Spills: From Liverpool to Drag Race Glory' Episode #5

Buckle up for an unforgettable Episode 5 of Leak and Sip, where hosts Nic and Claire roll out the red carpet for Pip, the electrifying drag sensation known as Sister Sister from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 2. Hailing from Liverpool, Pip’s journey is a rollercoaster of ambition and sparkle—starting with a leap from a humdrum civil service job to a one-way train ticket to London, where she landed a gig at Paul Smith’s flagship store, selling furniture to none other than Samuel L. Jackson. But the real magic began in Camden’s punky drag scene, where a nerve-wracking competition catapulted her from newbie to resident queen, igniting a fire that led her to Drag Race. Pip dishes the behind-the-scenes chaos of filming during the 2020 lockdown—imagine seven months of limbo after producers confiscated phones and taped hotel doors shut, leaving her and her fellow queens teetering between dreams of fame and the stark reality of a shuttered world. With her tiny pup Bambino (immortalized in a tattoo) as her loyal sidekick, Pip opens up about the loneliness of a 42-day UK tour, the thrill of Celebrity Coach Trip in Portugal, and how her 80s-inspired looks—big blushes, power shoulders, and gemstone vibes—pay homage to the fierce women who raised her in Liverpool’s vibrant glow. Nic and Claire bring their signature wit and warmth, digging into the mental marathon of lockdown, the rush of turning drag into a paycheck, and the pure joy of saying ‘yes’ to life’s wild opportunities. From crafting comedy sketches in dive bars to strutting her stuff on the global stage, Pip’s story is a dazzling blend of resilience, flamboyance, and raw honesty. Whether you’re a Drag Race diehard, a lover of bold personalities, or just here for the laughs, this episode delivers a double shot of inspiration and escapism. Pour your favorite drink, press play, and let Pip’s larger-than-life tale sweep you away!
