Graham Norton and Alan Carr to Judge UK edition of RuPaul's Drag Race

Following the enduring success of RuPaul's Drag Race in the U.S., the series is coming across the pond.

Graham Norton and Alan Carr will be the celebrity judges on the show. The comedians and chat show hosts will be weekly rotating resident judges, alongside RuPaul and Michelle Visage. A celebrity guest judge will also make an appearance each week. Norton and Carr will appear together for the season finale judging panel.

Norton has had some experience on the judging panel. He was a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars in 2016. In a video announcing the news, an excited Graham Norton said "I have been a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race forever, and a guest judge once. And now I am so excited to be part of Drag Race UK."

In a similar way chatty man Alan Carr broke the news saying "Guess what... I'm going to to be joining Mama Ru and Michelle Visage on the panel as a guest judge on the UK RuPaul's Drag Race! I'm so excited! And I can't wait to see what all the queens are going to serve up."

In true spirit of the show Carr ended the announcement with a death drop. Okurrr!
