After picking up her results at Coleg Cambria, Heather said: "I am so proud of my results, completing my A-levels alongside trying to build my drag career hasn't been easy.
"It took a lot of hard work and resilience to continue furthering my art alongside studies in Coleg Cambria. But joining the Manchester drag scene has always been a dream of mine, and I now have the opportunity to move to Salford, study fashion, and start my Manchester drag journey.
"So all the hard work paid off!"
Heather Boa with The Royal Serenity, Opal Rose, and Coco Valentine, at An Evening with RoyaltyHeather, who has been guided in her drag journey by established performer The Royal Serenity, added: "I actually performed in Manchester for the first time a few weeks ago, for Rodger Presents in New Union.
"The love and support I received from the audience and the other performers made all my doubts disappear, and made me confident that I am making the right decision.
"Although I will miss my North Wales family, I can't wait to progress with fashion, expand my skillset, and perform more regularly in Manchester!
"And of course I will still be back for Evening with Royalty in November, North Wales will always be my favourite place to perform."
