In an incident that was not aired on BBC ‘s Drag Race UK, Asttina Mandella shared she stormed off set after clashing with the production crew.
Asttina, who yesterday appeared on Daily Star’s Facebook Live said: “I was trying to get ready and I was being moved around 24/7. I was like, ‘You’re the ones who can move around us — at the end of the day, if I’m not in drag then you haven’t got a show’.
“If something is incorrect, I will point it out. I wasn’t having it. It just ticked me off. And my emotions just went. I couldn’t control myself. I had to go off set. One of the producers had to come to me.
“Everything about me broke down in tears. I was angry. I was like, ‘This is too much for me’.”

Asttina was battling mental health issues at the time.
