She initially used the stage name Miss Francesca and said that whilst underage, she would be able to get into nightclubs when dressed in drag clothing.

In 2020, Mills began uploading comedy skits to social media. One particular video in which Mills impersonated Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo, wearing a visible breastplate, went viral on social media. Known for her "crunchy, cheap and affordable" aesthetic and "council estate" sense-of-humour, Mills was described by Dazed magazine as the "breakout star of the digital drag era".
