RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon will have a major role in the new Doctor Who series, it has been announced. Jinkx Monsoon is best known as the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season five, and also the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.
The award-winning singer and actress is joining Doctor Who in a "major role" after completing her sell-out run on Broadway where she played Matron Mama Morton in Chicago. She became the first drag queen to play the role of Mama Morton, marking a historic moment for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Showrunner Russell T Davies said: “In a galaxy of comets and supernovas, here comes the biggest star of all. Jinkx Monsoon is on a collision course with the TARDIS, and Doctor Who will never be the same again!”
