RuPaul's Drag Race season 5, episode 2 spoilers follow.
Alexis Saint-Pete has become the first queen eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race UK series five.
Thursday's episode saw the competition really intensify, after a surprise twist last week where RuPaul revealed none of the queens would be leaving.
However, Ru warned the queens that they'd have no such luck in week two because, no matter what, someone would have to sashay away by the end of the episode.

In this week's Drag Race UK instalment, Ru laid out a design challenge for the 10 queens with a pet shop couture twist where they indulged the animal within on the runaway.
Joining RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Graham Norton on the judging panel this week were two special guests — British Vogue editor Edward Enninful to offer fashion tips in the Werk Room and Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney on the panel.
Banksie ultimately won the RuPeter Badge for the week, while Alexis Saint-Pete and Miss Naomi Carter ended up in the Bottom Two lipsyncing to 'Hot In It' by Charli XCX and Tiësto.
In a high-energy lip sync, Alexis seemed to struggle with her shoe at one point and even though she rallied back with an impressive death drop, she was told she'd have to sashay away.
"I wanted to show so much more," the Polish-British queen admitted in the Werk Room. "But, I'm walking away a winner already in my heart.
"I'm so glad to be here in my new homeland, and I hope to come back better than ever."
Next week, the queens will be challenged to write and perform a '90s-themed girl group track while pop queen Sophie Ellis-Bextor guest judges.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK airs on BBC Three in the UK and streams on WOW Presents Plus in the US.
