Team UK<\/p>\n
Kate Butch
This Yorkshire queen \u2013 who finished fourth on\u00a0Drag Race UK \u2013 is bound to bring the funny as she makes her grand return to the werkroom. This comedy queen perfectly demonstrated her chops on her season, both in the acting challenges and the Snatch Game, where, naturally enough, she channelled Kate Bush.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sminty Drop
With her avant-garde style and iconic goodbye \u2013 who could forget\u00a0that farewell twerk? \u2013 Sminty Drop is a certified fan favourite. After finishing ninth on season four, Sminty dove headfirst into the fashion world, and even walked during Paris Fashion Week. It\u2019s safe to say we, and many in the drag fandom, are eagerly awaiting her return.<\/p>\n

Zahira Zapanta
Nottingham beauty Zahira Zapanta\u2019s make-up skills are awe-inspiring, but she\u2019s so much more than a pretty face. On season six, she was unafraid to speak the truth, and her cutting commentary went down well with\u00a0Drag Race\u00a0fans. She may have finished in 10th place, but that just means she\u2019s got plenty to prove \u2013 and we can\u2019t wait to see what she brings to the werkroom.<\/p>\n

Team World<\/p>\n
Mariah Balenciaga
Polished US queen Mariah has graced our screens not once but twice. She finished in ninth place in season three of the original franchise and then finished in eighth place in RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars\u00a0season five. With a background in ballroom, Mariah is a legend of the game and is bound to rustle a few feathers when she steps into the werkroom for the third time.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gawdland
Drag Race Thailand\u00a0standout Gawdland is a true star on the Bangkok scene, and it\u2019s about time the rest of the world discovers their next-level talent. On the third season, Gawdland excelled in both the makeover and the Rusical challenge before making it all the way to the final, and they\u2019re not taking their sights off the crown anytime soon.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fontana
Representing both Brazil and Sweden on the cultural mainstage is no mean feat, but Fontana makes light work of the challenge. This Brazilian-born queen moved to Sweden aged 20, and mesmerised\u00a0Drag Race Sweden\u00a0fans with her seamless blend of Scandi and Brazilian fashion. Fontana finished in second and will be one to watch in UK vs the World.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melinda Verga
Canada\u2019s Drag Race has been churning out talented queens for seven seasons now, and Melinda Verga is no exception. With buckets of comedy skills and a charming persona, Melinda has become nothing short of a reality TV darling since his\u00a0Drag Race\u00a0debut, and we have a feeling he\u2019ll be bringing plenty of drama into the werkroom.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Serena Morena
Drag Race Mexico\u00a0alum Serena Morena was a standout of the first series, and now she\u2019s ready to show the UK \u2013 and the world \u2013 her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent. This cheeky queen doesn\u2019t shy away from shock humour, so we\u2019re prepared to pick our jaws off the floor when she makes her debut on UK telly.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Minty Fresh
Another queen bound to be serving some serious lewks on\u00a0RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK vs the World\u00a0is Filipino queen Minty Fresh. Minty finished in fifth on the first season of\u00a0Drag Race Philippines, and with wins in both the talent show and the design challenge, she could be a major frontrunner in the upcoming series.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Only Noamy
German supermodel The Only Noamy is ready to show us how it\u2019s done as she prepares to strut her wares down the runway. After finishing in 10th place on Drag Race Germany, Noamy has a lot to show us, and she has teased that she might just be the villain of the season. We. Are. Sat.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
On top of this incredible round-up of queens, RuPaul will be joined by his fabulous judging panel \u2013 Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton, and a host of celebrity special guest judges, including Lucy Punch, Will Poulter, Anastacia and more.<\/p>\n
