Gentlemen, start your engines! Michelle Visage is joining RuPaul's Drag Race UK as a judge.

Speaking of her role on the panel, RuPaul's best squirrel friend Michelle said: "I KNOW the UK has a wealth of talent to offer and I'm thrilled beyond belief to see these queens battle it out on the main stage, UK style! GOD SAVE THE QUEENS!"

Michelle previously told Digital Spy which UK stars she'd love to be on the panel as guest judges.

"I've sent in a list of who I liked," she said. "At the top was Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. And Dawn French. I want the whole lot of them."

She also explained the reason RuPaul wanted to launch a new Drag Race across the pond.

"The deciding factor was that it belongs here," she said. "British drag is so different and quintessentially British and different from American drag.

"I feel like British queens deserve their space to shine. Drag even of itself is different over here, so even celebrating drag for all its differences and wackiness deserves its own platform."

Executive producers on the Emmy-Award winning show, and creators of production company World of Wonder, Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey added: "Michelle has worked tirelessly to help bring Drag Race to the UK. We are grateful she is part of our family.

"She is a quadruple threat; she sings, she dances, she acts, and boy, can she judge! Queens beware!"

RuPaul's Drag Race is on Netflix. You can watch RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars on NowTV.
