George Ward, a star of the British version of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” has died at the age of 28, according to a statement issued by his family. Ward, who shot to fame on the BBC’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” under the stage name Cherry Valentine, died on September 18, his family said. In a statement released by his agent, the family said: “It is with the most heart wrenching and deepest sadness to inform you that our George – Cherry Valentine – has tragically passed away.
In his introductory video, he described his alter ego Cherry Valentine as “everything,” saying: “She is glamor, she’s club kid, she’s dark, she’s gothic.” Before appearing on “Drag Race,” Ward worked as a mental health nurse. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he worked in vaccination units. Earlier this year, Ward appeared in a BBC documentary, “Cherry Valentine: Gypsy Queen and Proud,” in which he spoke about leaving the traveler community after being rejected for coming out as gay at 18.
