Aug. 23 (UPI) — Oti Mabuse, Matt Lucas and Kathy Burke are set to be celebrity guest judges on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 3.
The trio makes up three of the nine celebrity guest judges who will appear on the new season, alongside judges RuPaul and Michelle Visage. Graham Norton and Alan Carr will also serve as judges on a rotational basis.
Mabuse is a two-time champion of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, while Lucas and Burke are actors and comedians.
“I loved being on the set! It felt surreal – I’ve watched every episode since Season 1 in the states, Canada, Down Under and I was excited to be on the UK one and meet the queens and work with them,” Mabuse said in a statement.
“It was on my bucket list to be on the show, but my years of wearing tights are behind me, so I was both relieved and delighted to be asked to be on the panel! I was hugely impressed by the brilliance and invention on the show, and it was one of the most entertaining days I’ve ever had,” Lucas said.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is coming to BBC Three and the BBC iPlayer in September.
The new season will have 12 contestants who range in age from 19 to 35.
