A BBC weatherman has gone viral after he celebrated International Drag Day on air - by cramming as many drag references into a report as possible.

Owain Wyn Evans caught the attention of thousands of drag fans on social media after he referenced dozens of drag queens during a 94 second forecast yesterday.

β€œThe time has come for me to forecast for my life,” he told viewers.

β€œI’m going to spill the tea alright and tell you that some of these clouds today are going to be throwing some serious shade, okay?”

Referencing some of the stars of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, a popular US TV show, Evans continued: β€œSo this weather front brought us some rain yesterday which is great news for our Nina Flowers in the garden, but I hope you didn’t get Courtney Act in any downpours.

β€œSo that weather front has indeed, sashayed away.”
