RuPaul's Drag Race: UK Versus the World spoilers follow.
Drag Race UK's Cheryl Hole wants fans to know that she's still Team Baga, despite her recent exit from RuPaul's Drag Race: UK Versus the World.
Cheryl was announced as the latest queen to be leaving the competition earlier this week, but it didn't take long for fans to voice their disappointment online.
As well as bemoaning Cheryl's premature exit, viewers questioned Ru's decision to keep Baga safe after she fell asleep during the sewing challenge and relied on the dress-making prowess of Pangina Heals.
Now, in an interview with Digital Spy, Cheryl has defended Baga, saying "nothing's going to change her".

"Baga is always just going to be Baga. She's just going to be herself. Nothing's going to change her. She's not a seamstress, like I'm not a seamstress," she told us.
"But I'm a thrifty diva, and I'll make any situation work, because that's what we've got to do. If I could have had the divalinas make my dress for me, I would have."
Arguing that everyone in the competition had "help" from one another, Cheryl continued: "If Mo didn't say to Janey, 'Change up that fabric, girl,' she wouldn't have been in the top. Pangina helped hot glue me into my gold belt just before we went to the runway.
"We were all helping each other, so people can say what they can say."

Will Baga be able to redeem herself in the eyes of viewers as UK Versus the World continues? We'll have to wait and see!
RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs The World airs on Tuesdays at 9pm on BBC Three, and streams on WOW Presents Plus in the US.
