Graham Norton and Alan Carr have announced they will be joining the UK iteration of the hit gay reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race, reports the Guardian.
The two comedians will join judges RuPaul and Michelle Visage on the hunt to find the UK’s next drag superstar.
“Becoming part of the Drag Race family makes me ridiculously happy. I can’t wait to see what the UK drag queens bring to the party, but they better weeeeerk!!!” said Norton.
“Wow! To be sat next to Michelle Visage and Mama Ru as a guest judge on possibly one of my all-time favourite shows EVER is a dream come true,” Carr added. “I can’t wait to see what the UK Queens have got in store – it’s going to be sickening! *does death drop*.”
“I was both shocked and delighted when Graham and Alan told me they’d be wearing tucking panties when sitting at the judges’ table,” RuPaul said after the BBC announcement. “I told them it was not necessary, but they insisted. Now that’s what I call dedication!”
Drag Race UK will premiere later this year on BBC Three.
