The cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’s fourth season has finally been unveiled ahead of the new batch of episodes dropping on BBC Three.
The next set of fabulous drag queens about to make their Werk Room debut already ooze charisma and talent, as judge supremo RuPaul prepares to preside over the twelve hopefuls.
Celebrities including Alison Hammond, Dame Joanna Lumley and Boy George have already been confirmed as guest judges alongside RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr.
The group of the nation’s most fabulous queens will compete over ten weeks to be crowned the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.
Each week, the queens face challenges that test their drag race prowess to the max in the hope that they have impressed Ru enough to avoid being one of the bottom two queens.
The first, second and third series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK have been streamed over 51 million times on BBC iPlayer, firmly establishing the title as a much loved reality smash hit for BBC Three.
