Brighton's Joe Black makes RuPaul's Drag Race season 2

The line-up for the highly anticipated season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has been announced with Brighton’s Joe Black hoping to bring “all the eyeshadow and wonky eyebrows of the traditional seaside drag, with a bit of haunted glamour” to the show. The new series will see Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton return to the judging panel, alongside celebrity guest judges including Dawn French and Gemma Collins, with more to be announced.

RuPaul said: “Season two will arrive with all the hope, joy, laughter and glitter you’ve come to expect from our brilliant queens. We feel honoured you’ve embraced our little show; our only wish is that we can offer a smile at a time when we can all use it the most.”

The show is due to air on Thursday, January 14 at 7pm on BBC Three.
