BACKSTAGE
So much of our show and sometimes some of the best parts of the show happen backstage, on this page you will find pictures and videos that capture Miss Tess Tickle and The Dragettes in their true light having fun and showing There’s No Business Like Show Business.
The last selfie me and the girls had this year ♥️ We’ve been treading the boards together for over 13 years and now we prepare to spend quality time together being us ♥️ xXx

As I finish my final show of 2022 I would like to finish with a final message. If anyone who follows me, watches me, comes to our show, supports me etc if you have any children in your family, please tell them they can be anything they want to be whether it be a doctor, a nurse, a police officer, an astronaut… They can also be Gay, Lesbian, bisexual, trans, Heterosexual or anything in between and you will love and support them regardless! If this message is carried out I’ve done my job. Thankyou all for attending it’s been an absolute honour to perform for you. All my love always xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx

You can't just sit there and and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself!
Just like Diana Ross and The Supremes once sang 'Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from you'! We're so much better together and together we shall stay! Here's the first picture and a little insight into our Christmas Show ♥️ xXx

Wow a week ago tomorrow we were partying in London with some of the best people ♥️ Forever greatful to @darren.styles, @tomplayerspecial_ , @cliffjoannou , @buckleym1 and all at @attitudemag for the invite and allowing us to work for them. What a crazy night it is for us North East lasses rubbing shoulders with some of the best in the business. The work Attitude does goes above and beyond, inspiring me year upon year to become a better person. Here are some of my highlights 🏳️🌈 xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx

It’s the start of the weekend and I’m still not over Wednesday night ♥️ The @virginatlantic Attitude Awards powered by @jaguar literally inspires me year after year to do more….. I couldn’t be anything without these girls. We have soooooo much more to give so I promise you this, WE ARE GOING NO WHERE ANYTIME SOON!!!! Here’s to another year of growing, another year of giving and another year of trying to fight for equality ♥️ 2023 is looking unreal and we can’t wait to share our lives with you all xXx

Last night I had the pleasure of attending @virginatlantic Attitude Awards powered by @jaguar at The Roundhouse in London. This is my 3rd time at thee best awards ceremony! Last night I never posted a single thing because I was simply living my absolute best life as well as been engrossed in the whole evening. I laughed hard & cried buckets listening to the emotion stories from inspirational members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As upsetting as it is to hear other peoples struggles, heartache and torments what shines through is their strength and determination to not only survive but stand up to the hate and negativity thrown our way. Last night in a room full of LGBTQIA+ people and allies it felt amazing and so powerful! I was truly honoured to be apart of such and inspirational audience…. Thank-you @attitudemag for such a memorable evening. Here’s my look for The Attitude Awards 2022 🖤 Hope you all approve xXx

As I lay in bed unable to move after an epic ladies day, I’m reflecting on what we at @angeltrust2 do and the difference you all make to the world. Yesterday on stage I was over come with emotion, we hear the stories, only they aren’t stories they’re real life struggles, worries and difficulties. Days like yesterday make a HUGE difference and I’m just so over whelmed that 1400 people came out to help us ♥️ Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou ♥️ Our next ladies day on 23rd April 2023 goes on sale today from Angel Trust website, Much Love xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx
