Watch: Brit Drag Queen Fatt Butcher Does Poppers on Live TV
Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Viewers tuning in to comedian Joe Lycett's "Big Pride Party" celebration on TV in the UK were treated to a big dose of gay culture.
As reported by the Sun, drag queen Fatt Butcher was spotted sniffing poppers during the live broadcast of the celebration on Channel 4.
Marking 50 years of pride in the UK with a big queer celebration held in the out comedian's hometown of Birmingham, the two-hour broadcast featured a lesbian proposal and guest appearances by LGBTQ celebs and icons, including Boy George, Mae Martin, Dame Kelly Holmes, Danny Dyer, the cast of this year's hit drama "Heartstopper," and more.
But Butcher stole the show with one little bottle. Those watching the broadcast were quick to comment.
One user wrote, "Fat Butcher doing poppers live on TV. ICONIC!! ?????????????????? #BigPrideParty"
Another user added, "I can't believe Fatt Butcher just had the audacity to take poppers like on Channel 4. Great content."
Butcher himself seemed to agree and shared the reaction to the viral moment on Instagram with the caption: "Mom, I just did poppers live on Channel 4."
Not one to let a viral moment go to waste, Butcher has decided to sell limited-edition T-shirts that show him taking in a nice inhale.
As one Twitter user also commented about the moment, "Sniffing poppers live on national television - this has to be a first." But hopefully not the last.
