Drag Race UK: The class of season three

The 12 queens of RuPaul's Drag Race UK season three have been revealed, and they include the show's first female queen - Victoria Scone.

The 27-year-old from Cardiff is known as an AFAB (assigned female at birth) queen and says she's constantly faced criticism for not being a 'proper drag queen'.

The contestants also had to get ready for the show during the 2021 national lockdown which threw up some challenges of its own.

Veronica Green, 35, is also back for a second chance after she had to leave season two because of a positive Covid-19 test.

Newsbeat has spoken to all 12 queens who are taking part in the new series.
