[edit]

Glover is a model and entertainer who performs in drag as Jonbers Blonde (previously JonBenet Blonde). He has also worked as a fashion editor and walked runways in London and Paris, collaborating with Nadine Coyle, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Melanie C, Sam Smith, Little Mix and Years & Years.[5]

Jonbers Blonde competed on series 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. She did not win any challenges and therefore receive any badges but placed joint-third in the finale.[6][7] She made a cameo appearance in the series I Hate Suzie.[8] She returned to compete in the second series of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World, where she placed ninth after being eliminated in the third episode by Scarlet Envy.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Glover is from Belfast, Northern Ireland.[5] In August 2023, rumors began to circulate that Blonde was in a relationship with comedian and Drag Race UK judge Alan Carr after a photo was released depicting the two holding hands in public the year prior, a few months after Carr separated from his husband. However, Blonde confirmed on Twitter that he is currently not in a relationship.[10]
