The queens brought such honesty, creativity and courage to everything they did, and it was an honour to sit alongside RuPaul, Michelle and Graham - their care and insight create such a powerful space for artistry to shine. A truly beautiful experience.”

Stepping into the guest judge’s chair, JADE shares: “What I love about Drag Race is the sort of community and the love that comes from the show. I love seeing after Drag Race UK episodes how much the queens support each other. It really does feel like a big family and I feel like you're let into that when you're watching the show.”

Jayde Adams says: “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World is not a gentle place to do comedy, which is exactly why it was so exciting to be a part of them all flourishing as they did. Those drag queens have to work at an unforgiving pace and are backing their choices immediately. Being in that room, sharpening comedy with them in real time, was a comedy career highlight and I would happily do it again. Being amongst that much professional confidence is addictive.”
