Lorraine Kelly

Lorraine appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK last year for the Snatch Game, and she’s back for series two with a bigger task on her hands.

The ITV chat show host will be by RuPaul’s side when he decides who should sashay away and who should stay.

Sheridan Smith

Actress Sheridan Smith is an absolute TV drama icon so fans can’t wait to see the star bring her sass to the sassiest show on BCC.

Liz Hurley

A business woman and model with years of experience on the runway, Liz Hurley will be a fabulous addition to the judging panel.

The 55-year-old will give her creative expertise on each and every one of the drag queen hopefuls’ lewks.

MNEK

Singer-songwriter extraordinaire will have some wise words of advice when it comes to the performance challenges, showing the queens how it’s done when you’ve gotta lip sync for your life.

Jourdan Dunn

Catwalk queen Jourdan Dunn has 14 years of runway experience at the age of 30.

With multiple Vogue covers to her name and having worked with the likes of Balmain, Mugler, Lanvin and Tommy Hilfiger, this fashionista knows what she’s talking about when it comes to style.

Maya Jama

Radio presenter and TV show host Maya Jama was confirmed at the end of December to be joining the celebrity guest judging panel.

We’re hoping she’ll bring her unapolegetic British banter to the American series.

Jessie Ware

Pop star Jessie Ware said it was a ‘dream come true’ to be guest judging on RuPaul’s Drag Race, saying the line-up of queens this year are ‘fire’.

We expect nothing less.

Dawn French

In December Dawn French was confirmed as a guest judge on the second series of Drag Race UK but she let her appearance slip way back in October.

She said at the time: “They did originally ask me if I would be a full-time judge, but I couldn't – because I just don't live in London. But I am going to be a guest judge in a couple of weeks."

More surprise judges and special guests are set to be revealed throughout the series after last year’s huge special guests line-up included Andrew Garfield, Geri Halliwell and Jade Thirlwall.
