When it was revealed last December that RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. , fans couldn't help but speculate about how close to the original format the UK incarnation would be.
“I am beyond excited to celebrate the massive charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent of the Queen’s queens,” Ru said in at the time. “And before anyone asks, yes, we would be thrilled to have Meghan Markle join us, as we are already preparing a ’Royal-Mother-To-Be’ runway challenge.”
Now it looks like RuPaul's 'best Judy', Michelle Visage, has officially signed on as a judge of the highly anticipated 8-part reality TV series.
“We’ve been working tirelessly to bring the magic of RuPaul’s Drag Race to my favorite city in the world: London,” Michelle this week.

“I know the UK has a wealth of talent to offer and I’m thrilled beyond belief to see these queens battle it out on the main stage, UK-style! GOD SAVE THE QUEENS!”
“Michelle has worked tirelessly to help bring Drag Race to the UK, we are grateful she is part of our family,” said World of Wonder co-founders Barbato and Bailey.
“She is a quadruple threat; she sings, she dances, she acts, and boy, can she judge. Queens beware.”
Drag Race UK will mark the first international version of the series featuring RuPaul herself, with Drag Race Thailand bringing a new host and panel of judges.
