FROM THE VAULT: Fenton Bailey chats Tammy Faye, Drag Con and how Drag Race Changed The World (and Cheryl) Forever! 

Due to some dodgy internet issues in the north of England, we tried but failed to record this weeks episode of The Spooky Sleepover but instead, we have a gold nugget of a convo from the vault for you to discover (or rediscover).

This is our chat with the one and only Fenton Bailey - The Co-owner of production company World Of Wonder, the co-creator of RuPaul's Drag Race and incredible film director creating the eponymous movie Party Monster.

Cheryl and Nikki settle down to chat to Fenton about his documentary, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, his world changing creation - RuPaul's Drag Race and how both their lives have been changed via his work - Cheryl with Drag Race but Nikki via something a little more left field in the form of The Adam and Joe Show (and Party Monster).

This conversation goes in all sorts of directions and we loved chatting to Fenton so it's worth another listen!

*The mention of drag con tickets is for an event in the past and any discount codes will not work for future events*

Enjoy and we'll see you back next week as normal!

Cheryl & Nikki

👻✨ It’s time for another Spooky Sleepover with Cheryl and Nikki! This week, the queens are catching up on some exciting family news – plus, one of them is serving a brand-new look you won’t want to miss.

Then it’s time to tumble down the rabbit holes of the week: from the baffling and tragic medical mystery of Gloria Ramirez, to uncovering which royal might have taken an elephant for a spin around Buckingham Palace (yes, really!) and a few other hidden secrets tucked away in London’s most famous royal residence.

But that’s not all – Cheryl’s spilling all the piping hot tea on the brand-new Real Housewives of London, and together the queens debate one of life’s biggest questions: just how much is too much for a London house?

Grab your snacks, get cozy, and join us for a night of mystery, mischief, and a whole lot of campy chaos.

We’re back, divas! After a little break, the queens are reunited for a special bonus episode to spill the tea on what’s next for the show, catch up on what we’ve been up to, and—of course—fall headfirst into some deliciously chaotic rabbit holes.

From pondering the real horror of sharing a house with Annabelle the haunted doll (she will be doing the washing up, right?) to questioning whether saying “I do” to an A.I. chatbot could be the start of a futuristic fairytale or the plot of a very niche horror film, no topic is off limits.

Nikki and Cheryl are back for part two of their deep dive into the Dyatlov Pass mystery, and things are about to get even weirder. From whispers of secret military tests to alien babies (yes, really), and the infamous Yeti theory to the icy grip of Mother Nature herself, they’re unpacking every wild conspiracy tied to this chilling case. Was it a cover up? A creature in the night? Or something no one’s thought of yet? Nikki and Cheryl are about to find out.
