The Snatch Game challenge is a spoof of the classic US gameshow Match Game or as we know it here in the UK, Blankety Blank, hosted by the late, great Terry Wogan.

It has been a maxi challenge on Drag Race since series 2 of the original US series and quickly become an absolute crowd favourite.

Contestants have to pick a famous person to imitate and stay in character throughout the duration of the panel show, delivering witty one liners and improvising jokes on the spot, trying to make the judges laugh the whole time.

So, no pressure!

Drag Race UK series 1set the bar incredibly high with Baga Chipz transforming into Margaret Thatcher, The Vivian taking on Donald Trump and as we know, Cheryl Hole doing her very best Gemma Collins.

What are the rules of Snatch Game?

The 'aim' of the game is to get a matched answer with one of the judges to a statement RuPaul reads out, for example "Gemma Collins is so Essex she ___".

But, anyone who knows the game will be aware the only real winner is whoever can steal the show and make everyone laugh the most in their character.

There really are no rules apart from, make 'em laugh!
