Over the course of 10 weeks, 12 queens will be going head-to-head in a variety of challenges in the hopes of proving their superstardom, with plenty of soon-to-be iconic lip-sync battles coming our way very soon.

If you can barely contain your excitement over what’s definitely about to become our autumn telly obsession, you can start familiarising yourself with everything we know so far below…

Who are the queens on the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK this year?

This time around, 12 queens are being put through their paces in the UK’s biggest drag competition.

Here’s a quick guide to them…

She says: “You’re going to get all the camp classics, and you’re going to get a bit of nana humour. Expect a lot of sparkles. There’s one thing you all need to know about Catrin Feelings, she’s not going nowhere near a stage without a feather or a sparkly gown.”

She says: “I am the Titan of Brighton! I’ve got all the glamour of an uptown girl, and all the charm of a downtown girl. Take it or leave it (but preferably take it, cos I want the gig). My drag, in its truest form, is a celebration of Black female pop culture.”

From: South Shields

She says: “I embody the art, fun and graphic nature of video games. I represent the underbelly of classic drag – the alternative. I’m here to represent all of those Geordie queens who are ingenuities, creative, a bit clowny, and a bit kooky. I want to showcase that anyone who has an alternative bone in their body can make it on to Drag Race.

“I really enjoy looking different to everyone else. As entertainers, we really need to have a unique perspective and I think that if your drag matches someone else’s drag, you’re not serving the art form.”
