We should be so lucky! Kylie Minogue confirmed as guest judge on Drag Race Down Under
Kylie Minogue will finally make her Drag Race debut this year!
According to Entertainment Weekly, the pop icon will join RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Rhys Nicholson on the panel of the Australasian spin-off, Drag Race Down Under.
“I’m so excited to finally be a part of RuPaul’s Drag Race for the first series [of] Down Under,” said Kylie.
“It’s such an iconic show and I can’t wait to watch the contestants perform their hearts out to win the title of Down Under’s first Drag Superstar!”
Just as Drag Race season 13 comes to an end this Saturday, we have been blessed with a brand new series: Drag Race Down Under. The new show will feature a group of queens from Australia and New Zealand fighting for the crown of the first ever queen of Down Under.
Unlike Canada’s Drag Race, this new series will be hosted by RuPaul with Michelle alongside. Along with a long list of fun queens and guest judges, this is everything we know about Drag Race Down Under.
The first episode will be available on BBC iPlayer on 2nd May
The first episode of the series airs on May 1st in Australia and is available on 2nd May on BBC iPlayer. The Twitter account for the series posted a teaser video showing a few of the queens, a clip of the mini challenge and a sneak peak at the candy-shop coloured werkroom.
Kylie Minogue is joining
Kylie said she’s “so excited” to have “finally” been confirmed as a guest on
RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, ending months of speculation she’d be joining RuPaul and Michelle Visage behind the judges’ table.
The pop icon said in a statement: “I’m so excited to finally be a part of
RuPaul’s Drag Race for the first series of
Down Under.
“It’s such an iconic show and I can’t wait to watch the contestants perform their hearts out to win the title of Down Under’s first Drag Superstar!”
Drag Race fans will get a double dose of Minogue, as Kylie’s sister and fellow LGBT+ icon Dannii Minogue will also make an appearance.
