RuPaul's Drag Race UK fans have been left in tears over a heartfelt moment on the show's latest episode.
In last night's (November 14) makeover challenge, the queens were tasked with transforming a family member to give a strong "drag family resemblance".
However, after the challenge, La Voix's father Richard – who was transformed into 'Voix La' – gave a powerful speech on his love for his son that left everyone in the room and audiences at home "sobbing".

"I do feel powerful," he declared. "I do feel so different. I can't explain, but it's a wonderful feeling. I thought it was a transformation that I felt, that it's a privilege being gay.
"Of all the hard work and effort people go through in this world, it's tremendous. And I give praise to everybody.
