Scots Drag Race winner Lawrence Chaney tests positive for coronavirus

Scots Drag Race star Lawrence Chaney has tested positive for coronavirus.

The winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK took to Twitter to tell her 646,700 followers the news.

Lawrence has been on a high since winning the show back in March and recently went on a mini Scottish tour with show co-star Ellie Diamond but now must take the time off her busy schedule to rest up and beat the virus.

Posting on Twitter, Lawrence wrote: "Tested positive today for COVID and I’m feeling really unwell but I’m determined to kick it’s arse!"

And many sent Lawrence well wishes, including pal Lorraine Kelly.

Lorraine wrote: "Oh no! Hope you are ok love - take care of yourself."

Another said: "Get well soon Queen."

One commented: "Sending all my love and I hope you have a full recovery and you will absolutely kick it's arse."

While one penned: "Aw I'm so sorry your not feeling well Shady Lawrence but I will send you love and hugs, get well soon and remember girl your a winner baby."

Just last month, Lawrence appeared on ITV's Celebrity Juice alongside Keith Lemon, Laura Whitmore and Emily Atack.

Lawrence has also penned a book 'Drag Queen of Scots' which is due to be released later this year.
