A brand spanking new series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns!

Over the next ten weeks, a cast of fabulous new drag queens will compete for RuPaul’s seal of approval and the much coveted title of UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.

In this opening episode, international drag legend RuPaul welcomes the queens into the werk room for the very first time. Entering one by one, they meet their fellow competitors and of course, they meet RuPaul, who sets them a surprise first challenge: Ru ru-veals that they’re about to be judged on not one, not two, but three looks. The question remains: who will make the fiercest first impression on Mama Ru and the judging panel?

Supermodel Kristen McMenamy joins Michelle Visage and Alan Carr to help RuPaul deliberate the fate of the queens. No one wants to be eliminated first! Show less
