Meet the Contestants of 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK' Season 2

We have a new cast of Ru Girls!

After the pandemic forced production to halt, Drag Race UK is finally back for a second season! 

Fresh off of the success of season one, BBC and World of Wonder have unveiled the twelve new queens entering the werkroom across the pond. Are you ready to fall in love with these stunning queens?

According to Gay Times, the season boasts ten episodes and will feature RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Graham Norton, and Alan Carr as judges along with plenty of celebrity guests (though so far, just Dawn French and Gemma Collins have been announced). 

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 2 premieres January 14 on the BBC! Scroll through to meet the queens!

Asttina Mandella, 27

"I am a strong physical, fit, masculine, feminine woman. I am Serena Williams and Naomi Campbell if they had a baby, plus Azealia Banks! I’m a body queen. I am blessed, gorgeous, and stunning."

A’Whora, 23

"I am fully rounded. I’m very creative, I can act, and I am a seamstress extraordinaire."

Bimini, 26

Cherry Valentine, 26

"I’ve worked hard at my drag, and I’m really proud of myself for throwing everything into the application process and making it through to this amazing platform."

Ellie Diamond, 21

"I like the biggest wigs, heels, outfits, lashes, makeup, and ass. I would describe my drag as a cartoon character that has come to life."

Ginny Lemon, 31

"I’m a fabulous singer and I can do everything. And, an absolute bullshitter as well."

Joe Black, 30

"Imagine you’ve found yourself in some seedy 1920s Berlin cabaret joint where we will have a dark, delicious, and deviant time. I bring all the wonky eyebrows and eyeshadow of the traditional seaside drag with a bit of haunted glamour." 

Lawrence Chaney, 23

"I am so ready for this race. I want to slay every challenge and take home that crown!"

Sister Sister, 32

"I can dance, not well, but I can dance! I have personality in abundance and that’s one way to keep the cameras on you at all times."

"I am so unsteady on my feet. It’s a constant fear. I just don’t want to make a tit of myself in front of the other queens. I want to turn up like a warrior.” 

Tayce, 26

"I am doing this for Wales, for my parents and my family. I’m doing it for all those little buggers who have looked at me and thought I was an absolute freak. I’m doing it for myself. I’m doing it for Gavin and Stacey!"

Tia Kofi, 30

"I’m quite shy and retiring in real life, and so I’m worried about the other queens. I can’t be dealing with fierce queens. They’re so glamorous and they scare me. I hate confrontation. If I get any of that I will cry. I’m a child!"

Veronica Green, 34

"I am the most competitive person I know. This isn’t a social experiment for me, this is a competition and I’m in it to win it! In my social life I may be a bit of a wallflower, but in competition, I aim to be the best at everything I do!"
