Drag Race UK will showcase Britain’s best queens

BBC Three has promised a plethora of guest judges including The Amazing Spiderman actor Andrew Garfield and Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams.
RuPaul, who created the competition in the US over a decade ago, also spoke of his excitement for Drag Race UK.

“I predict we’ll be doing this English edition of Drag Race for years to come,” the drag superstar added.
Drag Race UK will premier in October with Australian audiences being able to stream the show the same day as the UK on Stan.
