Jonathan Van Ness has revealed which one of the Fab Five he would most want to swap roles with.

The author and star of Queer Eye was speaking to Ryan Tubridy on RTÉ Radio One after his two sold-out gigs in Dublin.

And when asked if which of the Fab Five roles he would “love” to swap with, it turns out the answer was pretty simple.

“I think Tan [France] and I would be really good at swapping with each other,” he said. “He’s really good at hair; he’s really good at skincare – he’s got a great eye, he’s such an artist.”

“I would probably make everyone put on outfits kind of  like me,” he continued. “I don’t think I would be as understanding and kind as him – well, I would be understanding and kind, but I’d be like ‘put on this tunic’, ‘you need tights with it? OK, that’s fine’, ‘do you need a unitard? Can we get a unitard in aisle three please? 

“I think I would have so much fun doing fashion.”

But there are some categories that JVN admitted he wouldn’t feel quite as comfortable stepping into.

“I could never do food or design; I could maybe do culture,” he said. “Karamo is really good with hair and makeup as well. I think Tan, Karamo and I [would be good at that].

“I think Karamo would be really good at fashion, and Antoni would be really good at fashion – and I think Bobby would be really good at food. I think they could all be way better at each other’s categories.

“I just know, for me, I can’t cook or design. I can make like, three things of food that are pretty good – and one of them’s coffee.”
