RuPaul is ready to welcome 12 brand new queens into the Drag Race UK work roomStart warming up those engines, because RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is very nearly back on our screens.The latest edition of the reality drag contest is expected to return later this month with a whole new cohort of queens vying to be crowned the UK’s next drag superstar.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…Catrin FeelingsView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 26From: South WalesShe 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.”Tayris MongardiView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 27From: BrightonShe 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.”Sally TMView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 27From: South ShieldsShe 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.”Silllexa DictionView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 26From: LeedsShe says: “I’m here to make everything as big and crazy as possible! I love to exaggerate the female silhouette to the extreme. My breasts range from double F to double Z. I have about 12 pairs of giant breast plates. They take up a lot of space, so I store them in my parents’ garage!“I am 7’3 in drag, and a lot of people tend to be intimidated by me at first sight, but once they get to know me, they realise I’m a goofy, stupid cow and I don’t take myself too seriously.”PastyView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 30From: CornwallShe says: “I love to do themed shows. I once did a Tracy Beaker one with my friends and we took that on tour. I also did another tour called ‘Chicken Hun’!“I’m from Cornwall, so obviously the name Pasty felt apt.“I used to perform as ‘Pasty Palmer’ after the iconic Patsy Palmer, who plays Bianca in EastEnders, but then everyone called me Patsy, and expected me to shout ‘Ricky!’ so now, I’m just Pasty, and being named after a well-known savoury snack has served me well!”NyongbellaView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 25From: LondonShe says: “If you come to a show of mine, you’ll get a great music selection, a gorgeous outfit, and a really great performance. You’re going to have a fab time, and I’ll socialise afterwards! I like to make sure the people are thoroughly entertained!“I’m a very proud Cameroonian and being able to combine my heritage and culture with my aesthetic and weave it into my drag is just fab.”Paige ThreeView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 28From: London/SurreyShe says: “I’ve done all sorts of random stuff in my drag career. You might have seen me at brunches all around London, sometimes I run a bingo, I have performed with Kimberly Wyatt from The Pussycat Dolls. I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am, but I feel that I’ve reached a wall and I want to break through it and see what else I can do!”Elle VosqueView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 22From: BelfastShe says: “When you come to an Elle Vosque show the looks will be turned. I will be singing live, I will be doing a bit of dancing, and mostly you’re going to have fun.“The most important part of my drag is to have fun. I’m sick and tired of drag queens who think it’s all about looking like a supermodel. That’s boring, just go out and have fun!”ViolaView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 22From: CoventryShe says: “I am known as the UK’s only violin playing and singing drag queen, so you’ll hear my gorgeous vocals and tremendous fiddling, and you will also laugh – maybe more at me, but I will certainly make you laugh!”Chai T GrandeView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 32From: LondonShe says: “My favourite thing about drag is losing yourself. It’s also important for me to represent my Thai heritage in my drag. Growing up in London as a mixed-race English and Thai person, I didn’t really feel that connected to my ‘Asian-ness’. Now, I’m more confident and I have a stronger sense of my identity, so I can bring forward those elements into my performances, looks and references.“I am completely unapologetic about who I am, because being mixed race is fantastic!”Bonnie Ann ClydeView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 30From: DublinShe says: “At a Bonnie Ann Clyde show you get the full package! We might have a little comedy, a spoken word lip-sync number before we move onto something fierce and dance-y in a body suit, and then we’ll do a ballad, and mostly you will be enamoured by my presence and my glamorousness!“Bonnie Ann Clyde you’d think is a pun on the gangsters Bonnie and Clyde. It’s actually not. I’m named after my two dead cats, and they were named after the gangsters. And so, my dead cats live on in me!”BonesView this post on InstagramA post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc)Age: 25From: LondonShe says: “With a Bones show you get the full fantasy. It’s not just the costume, it’s not just the song – it’s the whole thing. You are brought into the full heavenly fantasy and you just live within. That’s why people come to the shows, because you’re not going to get it anywhere else!“Honestly, my name just came to me in the shower and I was like, ‘Bones works!’. It’s not masculine, it’s not feminine. It’s strong, it’s kind of witchy, it’s got some type of dark element to it, and there’s always a pun in there somewhere!”If you’re raring to start the new season already, you can watch the Meet The Queens introduction episode below...Who are the judges on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK?RuPaul will of course be returning to host alongside Michelle Visage.
