RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has announced its lineup of fabulous queens for the upcoming season. The popular show, hosted by the global drag icon RuPaul, will feature twelve talented contestants vying for the title of UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.
Each week, the queens will face challenges that test their drag race prowess to the max. They will need to impress the judges to avoid being in the bottom two and facing elimination. While they will be joined by celebrity guests like Michelle Visage, Graham Norton, and Alan Carr, the ultimate decision lies with RuPaul himself.
Interestingly, this season will not include any drag queens from Merseyside, despite Liverpool being home to two previous winners, The Vivienne and Danny Beard.
Now, let’s meet the queens who hope to make it to the finale:
1. Alexis Saint-Pete: A 28-year-old from London, Alexis describes herself as the Polish Billy Elliot and brings a lot of energy and storytelling to her performances.
2. Banksie: Hailing from Wigan and now residing in Manchester, the 23-year-old Banksie claims to be the tallest drag queen in the history of the franchise. She is living her dream by appearing on the show.
3. Cara Melle: Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, the 26-year-old Cara now calls London her home. She has made a name for herself in the drag world, featuring on TV, billboards, and ad campaigns.
4. Dedelicious: With a drag style described as polished, ridiculous, gargantuan, and stupid, Dedelicious is a 20-year-old from Kent who brings an unforgettable performance to the stage.
5. Ginger Johnson: Hailing from County Durham, Ginger has been in the industry for over a decade. She took matters into her own hands when she couldn’t find an older woman to play a role in a radio play she wrote, and her career has grown from there.

7. Michael Marouli: Originally from Newcastle Upon Tyne but living and performing in Gran Canaria for the past 17 years, Michael is excited for the ride that comes with being on the show. Drag allows her to be whoever she wants to be.
8. Miss Naomi Carter: From Doncaster, the 23-year-old queen is named after her idols Naomi Campbell and Beyonce Carter. Her drag is inspired by black music and culture, and she brings a unique mix of influences to her performances.
