BIO

One of the first artists to showcase the art of drag during season one of Australian Idol, Courtney showed the judges much more than her music ability. In 2014 she returned to television as one of the top three in season six of the Emmy Award-winning RuPaul's Drag Race and in 2018, she entered the UK Celebrity Big Brother house and won the competition. Courtney also hosted the first bisexual dating show The Bi Life which aired on the E! channel worldwide. Courtney finished up 2018 with her Christmas Special The Courtney Act Show which aired on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve.
