Episode 1

A hot new cast of queens enter the werk room as RuPaul kicks off his legendary race. And ooh la la, Alison Goldfrapp, Michelle Visage and Alan Carr join Ru on the judging panel.

Mama Ru is back with a hot new cast of rambunctious drag queens ready to do battle for the crown! Over the next ten weeks, the queens compete in a range of spicy challenges designed to test their drag mettle as they bid for the coveted title of the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.

In this premiere episode, the nervous, excited energy is palpable as 12 brand new queens enter the werk room to meet their fellow competitors and judge supremo, RuPaul, for the very first time. In this race, nothing is predictable, and in their very first challenge, Ru has an extra-special task in store for the queens. In a Drag Race UK first, Ru asks them to showcase their talents in a cabaret gig.

And it's a big ooh la la when pop icon Alison Goldfrapp joins Mama Ru as celebrity guest on the judging panel alongside Michelle Visage and Alan Carr. Start your engines! And may the best drag queen win!
