RuPaul's Drag Race UK Vs The World | Series 2 Preview (BBC Three)

The hugely successful Drag Race UK spin off returns and the famed competition is elevated to the next level as RuPaul invites Drag Race glamazons from around the world to the UK arena as they compete alongside fan favourites from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

The elite players may come from different cultures and drag scenes, but they share one thing in common, they all want to do their countries proud taking home the crown and the coveted title of Queen of the Mother Tucking World - and, for the first time in Drag Race UK herstory, a cash prize.

In this premiere episode, the queens enter the UK arena and meet their fellow competitors for the first time and they also meet judge Supremo, Mama Ru, who is keen to get to know them a little more, sets them their first challenge. They are to showcase their very best talents in a Variety Show fit for the Queen of all Queens, RuPaul herself.

Drag Race enthusiast and acting legend, Richard E. Grant joins Mama Ru as celebrity guest on the judging panel alongside Michelle Visage and Alan Carr. Other guest judges throughout the series include Tom Daley, Motsi Mabuse and Katherine Ryan.

In a cunning twist, in this game, it’s the top two queens who engage in a lip-sync battle, with the winner earning the right to eliminate one of the bottom queens.

It could be anyone’s crown.

Let the games commence, and may the best Drag Queen win! The new series launches Friday 9th February on BBC Three.
