After leaks, delays and the small matter of a global pandemic, RuPaul is back on the BBC with Drag Race UK season two.

As our review of the first episode makes clear, the season two queens aren’t here to play. They’ve upped the glamour, studied the game and are ready to make this a season to remember.

So what’s the tea on season two?
Drag Race UK season two kicks off “Bring Back My Queens”, which sees the 12 hopefuls thrown into the deep-end with a Wimbledon-themed mini challenge and a double runway maxi challenge.
Elizabeth Hurley is the season’s first guest judge, with later episodes set to welcome Sheridan Smith, MNEK, Lorraine Kelly and more.
Half-way through the season, the BBC will release a lockdown special showing what happened when the queens were forced to evacuate the werk room.
As the pandemic hit Britain, production was paused for about five months. Judge Alan Carr has revealed that in that time, some queens set about improving their skillset to match the high standards seen on the runway.
