From Resolven to RuPaul: Olympic swimmer Daniel Jervis makes a splash in Drag Race makeover
Daniel Jervis, who grew up in Resolven near Neath, took on one of the show’s most famous challenges – being transformed head-to-toe into a drag queen.
The Team GB swimmer was paired with US drag performer Mariah Balenciaga for the makeover episode, which saw a group of elite athletes step into the world of drag before walking the runway in front of judges and a global TV audience.
When Jervis stepped onto the main stage in full makeup, costume and towering heels, he adopted the drag name Amirah Balenciaga.
And the transformation proved to be a winning combination.
Judges praised the pair’s performance on the runway – with guest judge and singer Anastacia even admitting she struggled to tell which one of them was the Olympian.

Jervis is one of Britain’s leading long-distance freestyle swimmers.
He represented Team GB at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, competing in the gruelling 1500-metre freestyle, one of swimming’s toughest endurance events.
The Welsh athlete has also enjoyed success at the Commonwealth Games, where he won medals for Wales and established himself as one of the UK’s top distance swimmers.
But despite his success in the pool, the Neath Valley swimmer told viewers his personal journey hasn’t always been straightforward.
Jervis publicly came out as gay in 2022, revealing on the show that he had delayed sharing his sexuality until he was 26.
“You can sometimes feel like you’re being told you can’t be Christian and be gay,” he said during the episode.
However, he said he was fortunate to receive support when he did come out.
“My church didn’t change towards me. For me, that’s acceptance,” he explained.
“I understand how privileged I was to have that.”
Jervis added that he had also seen how difficult the experience could be for others.
“I’ve seen someone very close to me come out in a church setting and it’s gone really bad for them.”
Despite the challenges, he said coming out ultimately changed his life for the better.
“My life did turn upside down – but it turned the right way around. Honestly it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
Stepping into the world of drag

He hoped sharing his story could offer reassurance to viewers facing similar challenges.
Before agreeing to take part, Jervis said he sought advice from his father.
“My dad said only do it if you’re going to give it 100%,” he explained.
And once the cameras started rolling, he threw himself fully into the experience.
“It was fun but hard work because I wanted to make Mariah proud and the drag community proud.”
Jervis said he was struck by how welcoming the performers were.
“I’ve never felt so included and comfortable around a group of people in my life. They were from all around the world and so welcoming to us.”
The makeover challenge is one of the most popular parts of the Drag Race format, with contestants judged on how well their guest partner embodies drag performance and how closely the pair resemble members of the same “drag family”.
For Jervis, the transformation was a completely new experience – but one he embraced fully.
Asked by host RuPaul what his favourite part of the makeover was, the Welsh swimmer had a simple answer.
“The heels,” he joked.
“I wanted to go method.”
Jervis said he approached the challenge with the same respect he would expect if drag performers were stepping into his world.
“I have so much respect for these queens,” he said.
“If they were coming into my world, I’d want them to give it 100% and respect what I do.
“It’s the other way around – I’m going into their world and I want to give 100% and respect what they do.”

Good weekend! I saw The Bride Friday night and thought it was really fun. Went to drag brunch at Hamburger Mary's in West Hollywood for a friend's birthday on Saturday afternoon and hung out with that big group of people until Saturday night. Then on Sunday I went to a friend's house for his daughter's sixth birthday.
Tonight I'm going to go watch a buddy play some hockey too! Nice little extra treat for a fun weekend.
