Plenty of jokes have already been made at Tina Burner's expense on the show, specifically about her boy band past. As Reality Titbit reports, the New Yorker was in 5th Ring (check out her singing here). Allegedly, they only had one song, "Can't Say," released in 2001, though the lads also recorded a Spanish version — so it must have been reasonably popular at the time. Somewhat more shockingly, Burner, whose real name is Kristian Seeber, previously dated bonafide celebrity Graham Norton.
The beloved Irish TV host and author broke up with the drag queen in 2006, according to NZ Herald, describing him as a "bad boyfriend." The Irish Independent notes Burner moved to the U.K. to be with Norton when he was just 24, while the Mirror confirms they were involved for five years. Although Burner reportedly agreed he wasn't very good to Norton, the two remain civil, with the talk show host tweeting to congratulate his ex following a benefit in 2016.
