BBC Three's RuPaul's Drag Race UK continued last night, with the remaining queens taking on a Who Wore It Best design challenge in the competition's third week.
In a shocking turn of events, we had to say goodbye to Asttina Mandella after the East London queen found herself lip-syncing against Tia Kofi.
Just two weeks prior, the 27-year-old had been the contestant to beat, having won the show's first maxi challenge with her stunning tribute to Naomi Campbell and her streetwear-chic hometown look.
A self-professed dance queen and an avid gamer, Asttina incorporated her geeky qualities into her drag throughout the competition, wearing a Mortal Combat-inspired look for the Surprise Surprise runway.
However, Asttina's blue outfit failed to wow the judges this week, with Graham Norton saying he was "underwhelmed" by the "plain" look, while Michelle Visage said she was "getting kind of ice skater vibes" and that "without the necklace, it would have probably been 20 times better".

After landing in the bottom two, Asttina and Tia Kofi battled it out in a lip-sync to Dua Lipa's Don't Start Now, but it was Asttina who Ru asked to sashay away.
