Later episodes of Drag Race have aired on truTV, but the second and third series of the show have, to date, not been screened in the United Kingdom. The series has proved a hit both stateside and in the UK as drag queen RuPaul hosts the talent show that goes under the dresses to find the next top drag star.

The show has thrown into the social media mix a host of catchphrases including; ‘Can we get an amen?’ ‘Remember if you can’t love yourself, then how can you love someone else’ and the rather naughty ‘Don’t f**k it up!’

The first series introduced audiences once more to one of the most famous drag queens in the world, let’s face it we can all remember RuPaul and Elton John’s 1990s re-recording of Don’t Go Breaking My Heart right? From those early episodes the programme became a guilty pleasure for millions in America, and more recently over here in the UK.

Ru is not only the host of the show, the role also sees RuPaul as mentor, dress theme creator and creative inspiration on RuPaul’s Drag Race. If that wasn’t enough, there is no rest for the one time drag queen supermodel as RuPaul reigns supreme as overall judge, having the difficult decision each week to send one of his girls home. However he’s ably assisted by guest judges and regulars such as Merle Ginsberg and Santino Rice.

Contestants include the nation’s most outrageous, cutting-edge, talented and stunningly gorgeous drag queens all fighting for the title, and tiara, as top drag queen of the land. Working with the contestants are top models, designers and American idols all rolled up into one. Each week, through the trials and tribulations of glam, glitter and show-stopping performances, the best are whittled down until RuPaul finds the next superstar drag queen of America.

“Let the music play, for fans are in for a treat. The time has come to rewind and re-watch classic series from the ground-breaking show.” – truTV

The Emmy winning show returns to truTV from April 14th at 11pm. Freeview 68, Sky 186, Virgin Media 212 and on Freesat 154.
