Watch: 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK' Season 3 Cast Announced, Features 1st Cis Woman & Return of Veronica Green
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
The cast of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK" Season 3 has been ru-vealed and it features the return of Season 2 fav Veronica Green, as well as the franchise's first cis woman contestant.
It's been about five months since Lawrence Chaney was crowned the Season 2 winner but a new season of the reality show set across the pond will debut in the fall. Season 2 queen Veronica Green wasn't able to return to the show when it had to stop production due to the pandemic because she was diagnosed with COVID. As promised, she's here for Season 3!
The new queens competing include Ella Vaday, Scarlett Harlett, Choriza May, Elektra Fence, Krystal Versace, Charity Kase, River Medway, Kitty Scott-Claus, Vanity Milan, Anubis and Victoria Scone, who is the first cis woman to compete on any season of "Drag Race."
"It feels right! I definitely didn't invent the art of drag for women. I am not the first and I certainly won't be the last.... Me being here is political, but you can just have fun with it. That's why I started. I just wanted to entertain people and that's what we're going to do! Drag can just be fun!" Victoria said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "We don't describe cis male drag queens as AMAB queens, so, as a handy tip, I'd just call us all drag queens or drag artists, and, if you must know, I identify as a Tony Award!"
The usual "Drag Race UK" judging panel will be back for Season 3, including Ru, Michelle Visage and rotating judges Graham Norton and Alan Carr.
Meet the 12 queens below!
