RuPaul’s Drag Race UK to return later this month

RuPaul's Drag Race UK will land back on your TV screen later this month.

The critically acclaimed and award-winning series will return on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, September 22. Viewers can "expect more death drops, tricks, splits and stunning looks across 10 ten fabulous weeks". As always, global drag icon and judge supremo, RuPaul will preside as twelve of the nation’s "most fabulous queens" compete to be crowned the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.

Each week, the queens compete in various challenges in the hope that they have impressed the judges enough to avoid being one of the bottom two queens facing a lip sync for their life and elimination from the competition. The final say comes down to RuPaul as he decided who "shantays or sashaway away". Joining RuPaul on the judging panel will be Michelle Visage, a special celebrity guest judge and on a rotational basis, Graham Norton and Alan Carr.
