RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is just adding to the fabulosity, after Ru-vealing the first batch of celebrity guest judges for series two.
A day after confirming the line-up of queens competing to be named the UK’s next drag superstar, BBC Three has whet our appetites once again by sharing which stars will be joining the panel.
After appearing as a guest on Snatch Game in series one, Lorraine Kelly is returning to the line-up, this time as a guest judge for the main stage.
The iconic Liz Hurley will also be delivering her critiques to the queens, and considering she burst onto the scene in that legendary safety pin dress, we reckon her fashion advice will be taken to heart.
MNEK supervised the series one queens’ vocal stylings including that of the Frock Destroyers, but will be back as a proper guest judge this time around.
Sheridan Smith will be on the panel to likely judge an acting challenge, while supermodel Jourdan Dunn will be on hand to assess how well the queens sissied their walks.
More guest judges will be Ru-vealed over the coming week, but judging by this standard, we can expect big things.
In series one, Cheryl, Twiggy and Andrew Garfield were among the famous faces joining RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton in judging the batch of queens in their maxi challenges and on the runway.
Ru, Michelle, Alan and Graham are all back for series two, with Alan and Graham expected to rotate places each week.
It was confirmed yesterday that Tayce, Joe Black, A’Whora, Tia Kofi, Ellie Diamond, Ginny Lemon, Sister Sister, Bimini, Veronica Green, Asttina Mandella, Cherry Valentine and Lawrence Chaney will all be competing for the crown in the new series.
Series two will air on BBC iPlayer concurrently with season 13 of the original US version, so drag fans will be spoiled for choice in January.
Scouse queen The Vivienne is the reigning UK queen, having beaten Divina Di Campo and Baga Chipz in last year’s final.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK series two kicks off on BBC iPlayer on January 14 at 7pm.
