Some of the celebrity guest judges assisting RuPaul and the Queens through their various challenges as they compete to become the UK’s Next Drag Superstar…
How was it being on the show?
OTI MABUSE:
Fantastic, I loved it! I’ve watched every episode and I was so excited to meet the Queens.
MATT LUCAS: It was on my bucket list. My years of wearing tights are behind me, so I was both relieved and delighted to be asked to be on the panel! It was one of the most entertaining days I’ve ever had.
KATHY BURKE: I’m a big Drag Race fan, so it was absolutely brilliant to meet RuPaul and Michelle Visage – and I loved the very “kind to old ladies” lighting.
H FROM STEPS: This show means so much to me! It champions diversity and equality, and encourages all of us to be our authentic selves. I want to do drag now!
CHARITY SHOP SUE (fashion
icon): Amazing – it felt like we’d been given a golden ticket. The contestants were lovely, and so we felt very at home.
How would you describe yourself as a judge?
MATT: The more serious the situation, the sillier I tend to be. So, I was very silly.
What can we expect from your episode?
H: RuPaul’s Drag Race and Steps is the perfect marriage! A total camp-combo! But we worked the Queens hard and it paid off… It’s going to be an iconic episode, it was no “drag-edy!” Why do you love Drag Race? CSS: It gives people the confidence to shine bright – no one should ever dim their light. Sum up this year’s Queens…
JAY REVELL (choreographer
and Drag Race regular): Top tier, very high standard across the board! There are laughs and epic personalities.
OTI: They’re so funny, so talented – but even more than that, they are real.
