Judges announced for "Drag Race UK"

Graham Norton and Alan Carr

RuPaul's hit series Drag Race is heading to the United Kingdom, and this week more details about the show were released.

RuPaul will still be the show's host, and she's taking head judge Michelle Visage with her. But in place of Ross Matthews and Carson Kressley, two British comedians will be joining the panel.

Graham Norton (above, right) and Alan Carr, two big names in British comedy, have signed on to judge the queens.

“Wow! To be sat next to Michelle Visage and Mama Ru as a guest judge on possibly one of my all-time favourite shows EVER is a dream come true,” Carr said. “I can’t wait to see what the UK Queens have got in store -- it’s going to be sickening!”

“Becoming part of the drag race family makes me ridiculously happy!” Graham added. “I can’t wait to see what the UK drag queens bring to the party, but they better weeeeerk!”

RuPaul seemed equally pleased with the additions.

“I was both shocked and delighted when Graham and Alan told me they’d be wearing tucking panties when sitting at the judges’ table," she said. "I told them it was not necessary, but they insisted. Now that's what I call dedication!"
