Drag Race UK star Blu Hydrangea to host new BBC Three series Stitch, Please!

The dust has only just settled on Blu Hydrangea's Drag Race win and she's already back on our screens for a brand spanking new BBC series. The Northern Irish queen beat off the competition to be crowned the inaugural Queen of the World, bagging the prize of recording a musical verse with Ru Paul.

With this title under her belt, Blu has now been asked to host Stitch, Please! a three-part series that sees contestants compete against one another to create garments inspired by the hottest looks in pop culture. The series has two different releases dates: Monday 18 April at 8.30pm for BBC Three, and Wednesday 20 April at 10.45pm for BBC One Northern Ireland.

For each episode, new stitchers will step into a seventeenth century castle in County Antrim with £100 and 12 hours to create looks inspired by the works of some world-renowned costume and fashion designers. “I've been blown away by the talent of the stitchers and I think viewers will be too,” Blu says.
