Look who's calling!

It's Chai Tea...

This week, Patti spills the chai with Newcastle’s own South-Asian Sensation. Hailing from Manchester, Chai discusses growing up with a traditional Muslim background and discovering drag. Since competing in the long running competition series ‘Drag Idol Newcastle’ in 2025, Chai has gone from strength to strength. Topics include backstage shenanigans, the realness of Diet Pepsi and those cheap toy phones you used to get… AYAYA (you know the one I mean).

Very special thanks to Bonnie Lad (aka Bonnie Love) for calling in.
