Stop relying on that bloody body! We’re so hyped to officially confirm Michelle Visage to be joining the judges table of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK alongside previously announced host, RuPaul. The upcoming adaptation of RuPaul’s Drag Race, set to air in 2019 on BBC Three, will search for the best and brightest drag queens the UK has to offer. Through a series of challenges that will test the queen’s comedy, modeling, and acting skills, host RuPaul will crown the ‘UK’s Next Drag Superstar’.
