The 44-year-old - real name Bianca Castro - first competed on the fourth US season of the show, where Ru coined the phrase: "May I call you jiggly?" Jiggly then returned for season six of All Stars and is also a permanent judge on Drag Race Philippines . A statement posted on her Instagram account by her family read: "The family of Bianca Castro, known to many as the beloved drag performer Jiggly Caliente, is heartbroken to share that over the last month Bianca has experienced a serious health setback. Due to a severe infection, she was hospitalized and, as a result, has undergone the loss of most of her right leg.
"Because of these circumstances, Bianca will not be appearing in the upcoming season of RuPaul's Drag Race Philippines, nor will she be participating in any public engagements for the foreseeable future. Her recovery will be extensive. "At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Bianca and her family as they navigate this difficult journey together.
While Jiggly concentrates on healing, we invite her friends, fans, and community to uplift her with messages of hope and love on her social media channels. "Bianca's family and drag house are deeply grateful for the continued outpouring of support, strength, and prayers."
