Guess who’s back in the house?! RuPaul’s Drag Race has been given the green light for season two.

But if you want to take part, you better get your heels on… as you only have a week to apply.

The drag queen extravaganza has been given the green light to return in 2020 after winning over audiences (and even landing in the UK top 10) with the first batch of performers.

We’re halfway through the first series, and it’s clear that the star is the jewel in BBC Three’s crown with a staggering 6.5 million total requests on iPlayer.

‘I want to thank the BBC and all our fans for their overwhelming support of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK,’ RuPaul said of the news.

‘This season’s queens proved that Britain’s Got Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent and I want to see more! Here’s to another season of love, laughter and light!’

The show will return for another eight episode season in the new year, with applications open now for those who think they have what it takes to become UK’s Next Drag Superstar.

If they win, they’ll earn a spot on the Drag Race Hall Of Fame alongside the season one winner, who will be revealed in just three weeks’ time.

Kate Phillips, Controller, Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC said: “The response to the current UK series has been nothing short of dragulous.

‘Our viewers have really taken the show and the amazing queens to their hearts. So I’m delighted that Ru and the gang are going to shantay. Let the search for the next group of queens begin!’
