Gentlemen, start your engines.
And may the best woman (as chosen by Graham Norton and Alan Carr) win.
RuPaul’s Drag Race is an institution.
It’s got everything you could possibly want from a reality TV challenge based programme – comedy, drama, beauty, and a whole load of contouring.
And now it’s coming to the UK too, which means that it’s that little bit closer to Ireland. So close, in fact, that they’ve chosen our very own Graham Norton to be on the judging panel.
Beautiful.
He and Alan Carr will be among those deciding what queens will Shantay You Stay and Sashay Away when the UK version of the show drops onto BBC Three.
The network confirmed the news today with a series of videos from the lads saying how excited they were to be involved.
Graham’s was recorded on selfie mode in his home.

While Alan’s involved him wandering around a park and doing a death drop at the end.

Also present on the panel will be the iconic Michelle Visage, as well as another guest celebrity judge each week.
BBC Three confirmed that the show was coming UK-side last December, and while there’s no confirmed air date as of yet, we can only hope that it’ll be soon.
Like, really soon.
