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.
Remember @BorisJohnson an unvaccinated nurse saved your life in 2020 👏🏻 I applauded their courage then and I applaud their courage now! xXx #nhs #carers #covid #choice #vaccine
"Hello, Salem! My name is Winifred! What's yours?"
Booooooooookkkkkk. Happy Belated Halloween 👻 xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx #HocusPocus #drag #winifredsanderson
Had the most amazing night @ParkmoreH being thoroughly entertained by @miss_tesstickle and her dragettes!!!! Never seen my husband so nervous!!!! Already looking to book again….my face still hurts from laughing #dragqueens #Entertainment
"If we can showcase what we do here it’s only going to grow our county, not only encouraging more and more people to visit the area but driving equality & diversity forward.” @miss_tesstickle explains why she is backing our bid @narc_magazine: https://t.co/QDPecYh6Sm #Durham2025
We are so excited to be planning for Durham Pride 2021 on the Sands Field in Durham City – this one feels so special after the year we've all had! Covid-19 safety measures will still be in place & its TICKETS ONLY. Amazingly last few VIP tickets left before sell out – Please RT
Yesterday we sent this letter to 50 MPs (along with a Dreamboys Calendar – you're welcome). We are calling for a sector-specific plan for the night-time economy and a clear Lockdown Release Timeline @wearethentia @HospoUnion @DowneyJD #TheBigFreeze #NationalTimeOut @RishiSunak
We need immediate action to support theatres, nightclubs, bars & music venues otherwise we will be faced with financial collapse, empty properties, soulless city centres & the evaporation of British nightlife. RT: Support the #NationalTimeOut campaign @HospoUnion @DowneyJD
Happy VE Day everyone. A shared moment of celebration – 75th Anniversary 🇬🇧 Sorry I couldn’t do more but here is my part, wish I had a stage at home – one day. Dame Vera Lynn – 🎶 There’ll always be an England 🎶 xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx

If you’re driving a car you take control of the wheel, the pedals, the gears and determine a destination. When moving forward we don’t hit reverse….. Taking control in life is very much the same – Know your destination, choose your own speed, whilst driving you and others forward. Some were born to be driven, some were born to drive! Pick your destination and those you ride with carefully and ride together 💥 it’s not a race it’s a journey, it’s not a competition it’s growth xXx

What a morning, what a week, what a bloody year! From lockdown to full steam ahead I simply don’t know what’s hit me 🤣 I’m absolutely loving life. So many new achievements, so many new memories made, but somethings are very much the same…. This beautiful human is always by my side with his hand at the base of my back, pushing me forward and supporting me in all I do ♥️ Eeee we’re like Posh & Becks 🤣 🥰 xXx

Last Sunday I had the upmost pleasure of working with this incredible band @raksuraksu
I can honestly say they were an absolute pleasure, amazing back stage and well on stage they tore it up and gave the fans exactly what they wanted. Uber talented, yet so down to earth and I totally loved them. @ashley_raksu can so be my new Bf 🥰 xXx

After a brief ban of 3 days I’m back!!!!
I’m not going to lie I have been absolutely devastated I could have cried as I haven’t been able to share things with you on social media due to being reported on so many occasions 😢 I’ve worked so hard the past few months in preparation for ladies day and I was banned the day before which prevented me in sharing my hard work with my friends, family and followers. I sincerely hoped you all loved ladies day as much as I did and I want to Thankyou all for making it the best ladies day to date!
Sold out in 4 minutes, the atmosphere was electric and you all looked fabulous!!!!
I really wanted to be the first to share my look with you all but again I couldn’t due to the ban. I may have been prevented from posting but that didn’t prevent me from hosting, fundraising and making sure Ladies Day 2021 went down in history!
Here is my ladies day look 💝 xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx

So today is the Day ‘Everybody is Talking About Jamie’ the movie is released on Amazon prime. 2 years ago at 3am I headed to sheffield to be apart of the movie (blink and you will miss me). It’s such a powerful story but being a queen who has walked the same steps as Jamie, growing up in the same area, knowing him from the very first stages of drag at 16 and watching his story unfold it was an absolute pleasure to be apart of what is going to be such an iconic movie. Max Harwood and Richard E Grant were just a dream as were the the hard working queens of the scene I had the pleasure of working the protesting scene ❤️ I look forward to watching the movie, for now I’ll share some pictures incase I’m cut! xXx

I'm heart broken 💔 It’s with tears streaming down my face and a huge knot in my stomach It’s time to let go.
On Tuesday 14th September just after 6:15pm Belle our Chihuahua passed away in our arms. It was her time to leave but for selfish reasons we just weren't ready, we weren’t prepared but then again we never will be.
Belle was 13 years and 7 months old….. We were never meant to have Belle but she knew she was meant for us, all those years ago when we moved into together we knew we wanted a dog and went to see Mr Big and there laid Belle and from the instant we met them we knew Big & Belle were meant to be with us. Belle has been with Mark and I through our whole relationship, she's celebrated with us, made memories with us, comforted us, been there for us and listened to us, she's been a friend, a companion and a child to us and for that we will be forever grateful. We sincerely hope she knew how much she was loved in fact those were the last words we said to her. Both Mark and I along with Big were with her right to thee end, we started our family life as a family of 4 and we made sure that that is how she would go, surrounded by those who loved her dearly. We will never get over her passing but we will forever cherish those moments and memories she gave us and will carry her in our hearts forever. Belle you were more than a dog you really were our best friend, the start of JedJess along with your husband Mr Big and we promise to take care of your pack just as you did. Your legacy will live on but for now sleep tight our princess, you were loved ❤️ xXx Miss Tess Tickle xXx

4 years ago I ran the Great North Run for charity with these amazing humans!!!!! It’s damn hard and it’s not easy but we all do it because of the charity and those who need it are behind us and that means the world!!! Congratulations to all those who took part and crossed that line today and Thankyou for your efforts in raising money and awareness for masses of charities throughout the country in these difficult times ❤️👏🏻 xXx

Bank Holiday Monday, my first day back at work 🙌🏻 I’ve had the best two weeks spending some quality time with this one ❤️ Honestly he’s one in a million! The most kind, caring and supportive person you will ever meet. Not only does he come to the shows and help out, but if he’s not there he makes sure dinner is on the table for me coming home, gets up early to see to the dogs and puppies to allow me a lie in, along with supporting me implicitly! It’s total team work and I couldn’t work without him. Here’s to the next 7 weeks of shows 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Dream Team ❤️ xXx
