The winner of Drag Race Down Under admits the 'darkest' moment of the season.

The fourth season of Stan Original Series Drag Race Down Under came to a fabulous conclusion with Melbourne queen Lazy Susan taking home the coveted crown.

Throughout the season, Lazy Susan dominated the competition, securing three challenge wins and consistently impressing with her unique combination of out-of-the-box looks and captivating performances.

In the grand finale, the top four queens — Lazy Susan, Mandy Moobs, Vybe, and Freya Armani — faced off in a final maxi challenge and runway presentation.

After Freya's elimination, the remaining three queens lip-synced to Sigala's 'Came Here for Love'. Despite not delivering the strongest lip-sync performance, Lazy Susan's overall track record and distinctive drag style secured her victory.

Upon winning, Lazy Susan received her crown from previous winner Isis Avis Loren, along with a year's supply of cosmetics and $50,000 prize money.

It was a win that left Lazy Susan in shock, as she told Mamamia after the finale.

"It's absolutely ridiculous, completely surreal. There have been very few times in my life where I've been completely and utterly lost for words, but I was absolutely done-zo; I could not say anything," she said.

"It will be three more months of me just standing in my house and looking at the little tiara and being like, how did this happen?"

A fan of Drag Race for years, Lazy Susan felt like she was going into the competition armed with a lot of experience, and ready to take on whatever the reality show threw her way.

"I was pretty well versed in the show, so I did have a clear vision. I think having the experience of working on sets for film stuff and knowing about the show, those two things made sure that there was no wool pulled over my eyes," she admitted.

That being said, she said that combining a TV show with drag had unexpected results.

"You're taking these two weird art forms of reality television and drag and trying to mash them together, but they're weirdly incompatible because drag is so much about artifice and fakery. It requires hours of work to get ready and into and then to maintain," she said.

"Every time you see us on the runway for 30 seconds, that was like three hours of us standing there in high heels trying to look the most glamorous that we've ever looked in our lives while our bodies are aching and dying and our corsets are digging into us."

Lazy Susan recalled another funny moment, when was when one queen was sharing an emotional moment — until an unexpected sound disturbance forced recording to stall.

"I remember really distinctly being on the main stage and someone's crying about going home and then, like, a plane goes over the studio and they have to stop because the sound recording is gonna be ruined," she said.

"They're like, 'Hold, the plane, hold, the plane,' and you're all just standing there dressed like some sort of f**ked up Mad Hatter party and someone's sobbing about the most traumatic thing that's ever happened to them."

A highlight for the Melbourne drag artist were the naughty moments in between filming, when the queens weren't meant to be speaking, in an attempt to ensure all the drama was captured on camera.

"You're all absolutely tired and you weren't meant to be speaking but you're passing secret little whispers back and around the van. That kind of stuff was so lovely, it was like being back at school camp or something with your besties," she recalled.

Lazy Susan did notice some of her favourite scenes didn't make it into the final episodes.

"There were so many stupid things," she said.

"There was a kind of obstacle course that we set up for my makeover challenge… I wish that that sort of stuff had made it into the show. Then there were little quips and things that I remembered saying that I was like, 'Oh, they cut that.'"

The worst moments were when her closest pals were eliminated.

"The darker moments were how you build this really intense connection to people really quickly because you're all going through this shared intense experience, and then suddenly they start going home," she said.

"The people that you've begun to rely on for your morning pep talk or your little bit of support… and suddenly that person, when they leave the show, that is legitimately the last time we see them."

As for what's next for the talented queen, Lazy Susan has big plans for what to do with the prize money.

"I'm putting some of it into a feature film that I'm trying to get made and so that is going to be fabulous," she said.

"Then I'm going to put some of it into a project that is specifically about Melbourne drag, and there will be more to come on that one."

Can't wait!
