Christine "Bugsy" Drake

The lowdown

The sunny, meticulous South African second stew, a former chief stew who stepped down a rank and made sure everyone noticed who was really setting the tables. She told Hannah she'd been 'a lousy chief stew.'

Season 2: Second Stew · Season 5: Second Stew → Chief Stew

📍 Where are they now?

Bugsy still works in yachting as an events planner and tablescape designer aboard M/Y Nita K II. Between charters she is renovating a beach cottage she bought in South Africa in 2025.
