Early life
editPeet discovered drag after playing around with makeup while attending drama school at East 15 Acting School.[1]
Peet is a victim of child sexual exploitation. In 2012, at the age of 13, he was groomed by an older man who claimed to be 18–19 years old after befriending him on Facebook, leading to the pair meeting up and beginning a romantic and sexual relationship. In reality, the man was twenty-three years old.[3][4] Peet testified at Preston Crown Court[4] against the man when his real age was uncovered, resulting in his jailing. However, Peet suffered from psychological trauma as a result of the events that occurred, which in turn stunted his psychosocial development.[1] Peet was awarded the High Sheriff of Lancashire’s Young Citizen of the Year Award in 2014.[5] In 2017, at the age of 19, Peet raised £2,200 for The Children's Society by taking part in a twelve-person, week-long expedition in Brazil, summiting peaks such as Sugarloaf Mountain.[3]
