Drag Race UK unveils season 3 cast including first cis woman to compete

The Drag Race UK season three cast

The Drag Race UK season three cast has been Ru-vealed ahead of the hit show’s return.

It’s been approximately five minutes since Lawrence Chaney was named winner of Drag Race UK season two, and yes, Drag Race All Stars is literally airing right now, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t gagging for more.

Drag Race UK season three is coming to BBC Three this September, it’s been confirmed, with 12 new queens competing for the title of the UK’s next drag superstar.

It’s the first season in Drag Race herstory to have a cisgender woman drag artist compete – Victoria Scone.

Over half of the queens hail from London, with eight contestants calling the capital home, and for the first time in Drag Race UK herstory, we have a returning queen from seasons past – Veronica Green, who was forced to bow out of season two after testing positive for COVID-19.

Without further ado, here are the 12 queens making up the Drag Race UK season three cast.

Named for the god of the afterlife, Anubis celebrates her Egyptian heritage through her drag and has been in the music industry since her teenage years.

“I’m an an old lady inside a teenager’s body,” says the 19-year-old, one of the youngest in the competition, describing her persona as a “weird Dr Seuss character meets my nan”.

Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. Charity’s drag is a “creative mash-up” of the Manchester and London scenes.

She’s creating a “fantasy from another dimension” and and dressed as a dragon for her unveiling. Naturally.

Scarlett Harlett (London, England)

The “cockney princess” and “queen of the East End”, Scarlett Harlett is proud of her council estate roots and is the first to take the p**s out of herself.
