Drag Race fans are truly being spoilt this week, and just a day after the 10
British queens were finally revealed we’ve been given our very first look at the debut
UK episode – and it’s fair to say there is plenty to get excited about.
A clip of Mama Ru introducing Michelle Visage and guest judges Alan Carr and Andrew Garfield is choc-full of Brit-isms, including crumpet talk (obviously), the Royals and Michelle doing her very best Dick Van Dyke impression.But our absolute fave moment is when Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield tells Ru he feels like he’s in “gay heaven”.
And Ru’s response? Well, we’ll let the clip below do the talking…EXCLUSIVE first look at Ru's Runway from episode ONE of Drag Race UK. You're welcome.@BBCThree's #DragRaceUK is on iPlayer this October. pic.twitter.com/1OyYlaTnDr— RuPaul's Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc) August 22, 2019Drag Race UK was announced by the
