DRAG RACE UK: LAUNCH DATE CONFIRMED FOR SIXTH SERIES ON BBC THREE
RuPaul's Drag Race UK returns to BBC Three and iPlayer on Thursday 26th September at 8pm with a cast of fabulous new drag queens competing for RuPaul’s seal of approval and the much coveted title of UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.
The competition sees hopeful drag queens compete across ten weeks in a variety of spicy challenges and iconic games designed to test their drag mettle, with the winner of the week being awarded a coveted RuPeter badge, and the bottoms of the week facing a lip sync for their life and the risk of elimination.
RuPaul, affectionately known as Mama Ru, leads an esteemed judging panel that includes regular judges, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr, Graham Norton and a bevy of celebrity guest judges, who this year range from Mabel to Simon Le Bon. Together, they deliberate the fate of the queens but it is queen of queens, Mama Ru, who has the final word on who shantays or sashays away from the competition.
