‘Paris is Burning’, ‘beating a face’ and ‘bootsing down the house’: defining Drag Race for the uninitiated

Since RuPaul’s Drag Race began in ’09 in a studio basement, with a hazy filter rumoured to be hiding the poor camera quality, Drag Race has sparked 15 international series, nine All Stars series and three “vs the World” series.

In this time the mission has remained the same: find the queen with the most Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent and crown them.

Steps, Duran Duran and Mabel: meet the judges for Drag Race UK series six

RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton will all be returning to judge, but as always, they will need some celebs to give them a helping hand.

Alexandra Burke has caught the Drag Race bug after taking part in a Snatch Game last series (Snatch Game is a mock game show where the queens compete in character as an iconic celebrity), and will now be joining the show as the queens’ vocal coach. Her services will be required in iconic challenges such as the Ru-sical and the Girl Group Challenge.
