RuPaul's Drag Race
The queens for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK have been announced, The Great British Bake Off and Naked Attraction are back and Gemma Collins is filmed getting annoyed at a fellow passenger over plane seat etiquette.
Get ready, cos RuPaul's British version is coming to BBC Three this October.
Warning: Contains dodgy Dick Van Dyke impression.
The first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has revealed the ten queens who will be competing for the crown. RuPaul said of the lineup, “Each of the UK queens is so unique, so courageous and so special. I can't wait for the UK - and the world - to fall in love with them the same way I did.” Drag Race UK begins in October and features a host of famous guest judges including Graham Norton, Alan Carr, Cheryl and Twiggy.
The first-ever British series is staying true to the US version when it launches on BBC Three in October.
At this year’s UK DragWorld convention, drag kings performed as well as drag queens. Despite queens being the most popular, other interpretations of drag are starting to gain greater recognition across the country. And as the UK looks to welcome RuPaul’s Drag Race in the Autumn, the scene looks set to take off further.
Television presenter Anneka Rice is the 15th and final contestant announced for this year's Strictly Come Dancing. She will join, among others, Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing, RuPaul's Drag Race judge Michelle Visage, CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual and former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley.
Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing is the latest celebrity to be confirmed as a contestant for this year's edition of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing. He joins a host of other celebs, including RuPaul's Drag Race judge Michelle Visage, CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual and former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley.
The news was buried in a press release confirming Michelle for the BBC ballroom show.
The RuPaul's Drag Race star is going from judging to being judged.
