With the full support of mum, 11-year-old schoolboy turns into a confident drag queen on popular TV talk show Loose Women

Leo Noakes wants people to know that it is ok to be different and any amount of bulling should not stop you from being who you are.
UPDATED AUG 10, 2018

11-year-old Violet Vixen appeared on the Wednesday (August 8) episode of Loose Women and she certainly did charm the audience. What's special about Violet is that she is the alter-ego of Leo Noakes. The young lad looked every bit confident as he strutted onto the stage dressed as a drag queen clad in a dazzling attire complete with fishnet tights and high heels. Leo told the panel that he feels more like himself" when dressing as a drag queen.

Meanwhile, his mother Leanne said that his interest in drag has nothing to do with him changing his gender. "From my ignorance, I assumed that that's what he wanted. It's not at all," she said. But, actually, he's really open anyway, he really clearly just says, "I'm a boy, I like being a boy, just because I've got a penis doesn't mean I can't wear a dress". He just wants to show everyone it's OK to be different. That's what he taught me."
