BBC Glow Up as Glasgow woman to appear on hit TV series - everything you need to know

We love seeing people from Glasgow on our TV - and this week we will see just that with two Scots fighting it out on a popular BBC show.

BBC Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star is set to return very soon - and one Glaswegian already seems like a potential winner.

The make-up artist is 21-years-old and is a student from Glasgow. And not only that, there's another Scot hoping to take home the crown.

The show will follow 10 aspiring make-up artists putting their talents to the test after being handed assignments from the likes of TV and film, theatre and fashion to front covers and on-line beauty campaigns.

So what do you need to know about the show and when does it start? Here is your guide to what's to come.

BBC Glow Up Britain's Next Make-Up Star - air date

The first episode will air on May 2 (Tuesday) at 6pm. The fifth series will also be shown on BBC Three at 8pm.

Episodes will then air weekly on Wednesdays.

BBC Glow Up Britain's Next Make-Up Star - Glasgow contestant

On-May, 21 (she/her)

On-May is a student and works as a retail make up artist (MUA) in Glasgow.

The 21-year-old got into make-up after watching the video for Michael Jackson’s Thriller and seeing a fellow school pupil’s perfect eyeliner. From there, her passion, and skills, grew with her keen to show off just what she is capable of.

This mixture of Halloween horror and flawless glamour sums up On-May’s style perfectly, say the BBC with the Glasgow star loving to create out-there characters based on what she’s learning in her film and TV make-up course.

There is also another Scot ready to take on the challenge....

Axel, 27 (he/they)

The new series starts in May. (WALL TO WALL / DAVE KING)

Axel is a computer arts student from Dundee and first began experimenting with make-up as a teenager.

At that time, they were heavily inspired by creature design and became obsessed with turning themselves into monsters.

The 27-year-old loves drag and transforming themselves into interdimensional beings - and just like Oh-May, is another contestant that is sure to impress us, and everyone watching at home making us Scots proud.

You can see all the contestants here.
