'I love Paul Burrell. I'm his gay best friend

After baring all on ITV1's The Real Full Monty: Jingle Balls A last month, Nick Collier better known as RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Ella Vaday - found himself forging a rather unlikely showbiz bromance.

Nick - who got his kit off to raise awareness of cancer prevention alongside rugby hunk Ben Cohen and TOWIE legends Gemma Collins and Pete Wicks- struck up a close friendship with former royal butler Paul Burrell.

"I wasn't sure I would get on with someone like Paul, but we absolutely did," he laughs. "We had a bromance!"

Asked whether Paul. spilled any royal tea, Nick says, "No, he didn't tell me any secrets. And if he did, I wouldn't be able to tell you because I'd have to kill you."

Nick, 35, joined the all-star line-up in tribute to his mum, Donna, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, 10 years after battling thyroid cancer. Following chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy, Donna, 59, has thankfully beaten the disease once again.

But although The Real Full Monty was a huge success, Essex-born Nick tells new he was initially wary about taking part.

“It was daunting going into a show with people I’ve been watching on TV long before I was on TV myself,” he says. “But I had so much fun.

“I loved Pete and I got on brilliantly with Paul. I love him to bits. He only came out a few years ago and I felt like his gay best friend.
