'RuPaul Drag Race UK': a brief background

After immediate success in the US, RuPaul's Drag Race UK premiered in 2019 to a very receptive audience. Considering there were over 15 million iPlayer requests in the UK in the first year, award nominations and even a foray into the music scene, we gather that Mama Ru's definitely doing something right. 

Between competitions and runway shows, the queens will keep busy with a slew of tasks, ultimately fighting to win audiences' hearts and the top prize. The show's winners include The Vivienne from season 1 and Lawrence Chaney from season 2. Time will tell who will stun fans during season 3!

Mama Ru: everyone's ready to see what you have up your sleeve!
