US Drag Race star stuns Ru Paul by revealing she is from Greenock with tartan bagpipe dress

A star of US Drag Race stunned host Ru Paul by revealing she is actually Scottish.

Rosé – real name Ross McCorkell – has won over fans of the show with her broad Texas accent.

But she shocked viewers on Saturday’s episode by taking to the catwalk in a bagpipe and tartan themed dress – and revealing she is actually from Greenock.

The 31-year-old left Scotland for Texas as a 10-year-old and is now battling the rest of the drag competition in a bid to win this year’s series and the $100,000 prize money.

She said: “I’m proud of my Scottish roots, and my parents, who I moved to America with when I was 10, have always really supported me.”
