Your guide to the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK will officially be returning to our TV screens on January 14 and we're already obsessed. If there's anything that can kick off 2021 right it's a new season of Drag Race… But who will be starring in the show? Get to know all the fabulous Drag Race UK queens here.
Meet Tia Kofi: She's 30 years old and hails from Essex. Tia calls herself the "Queen of Clapham" and she's in a girl group. [BBC]
Meet Tayce: She's from Newport, South Wales. Tayce has been serving looks since "day dot" and her signature look is "modelesque, villainous, dark, punky and edgy." [BBC]
Meet Sister Sister: She's 32 years old and hails from Liverpool. Sister Sister's signature move is to always look gorgeous and a little bit bored. [BBC]
Meet Bimini Bon Boulash: She's 26 years old and is from East London, but she grew up in Norfolk. Bimini describes herself as "East London's bendiest bitch" and did you know she actually invented veganism seven years ago? [BBC]
Meet A'Whora: She's 23 years old and Northern but she now lives in London. A'Whora said she created her drag persona because she's everything George (A'Whora out of drag) isn't. [BBC]
Meet Asttina Mandella: She's 27 years old and hails from London. Asttina (who describes herself as "Serena Williams and Naomi Campbell if they had a baby… plus Azealia Banks") is a trained dancer and has been a backing dancer for Kanye West and Little Mix. [BBC]
Meet Ginny Lemon: The 31 year old contestant from Worcester. Ginny is non-binary and their catchphrase is: "Fancy a slice?" [BBC]
Meet Ellie Diamond: She's 21 years old and hails from Dundee, Scotland. Ellie stands at 6 feet 4 inches and she's only ever performed out of Dundee once, so Drag Race UK is a huge step for her. [BBC]

Meet Veronica Green: She's 34 years old and from Rochdale, Lancashire. Veronica describers herself as gorgeous, goofy and… professional. She's been a musical theatre singer for 15 years and has applied for Wicked multiple times. [BBC]
Meet Cherry Valentine: She's 26 years old and hails from Darlington, County Durham. Cherry is new to drag but that definitely hasn't knocked her confidence. She's also a qualified mental health nurse. [BBC]
Meet Lawrence Chaney: She's 23 years old and hails from Glasgow, Scotland. Shady Lawrence calls herself the "Fat Bastard of Drag from Austin Powers" and says she fits into every single Scottish stereotype. [BBC]
