With RuPaul’s Drag Race coming to the UK very soon, the question on everyone’s lips is who will be sitting beside RuPaul on the panel as a guest judge.

Courtney Act, runner up on season six of the show, is an obvious choice after the UK claimed her as their own following her Celebrity Big Brother win.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy about the possibility of joining the panel, she said: "I don't think there's ever been a drag queen judge on Drag Race. If not now, then when? I'd love to be on that panel, really up close to RuPaul and really go in.

"We got to sit opposite RuPaul at the tic tac lunch back when there was a tic tac lunch and I remember it was one of my highlights because I got to sit opposite RuPaul, less than a metre away, and she was asking questions and I was talking to her but it was also like, me staring at her lace front and her make up and her costume.

"That would be a cool thing about sitting on the judging panel, being up close to Ru."

Courtney also shared what she'd like to see from the show, and how it will differ from its American sister.

"Drag Race has drag queens of all colours and all varieties. I feel the UK has a different style of drag altogether and while it does have some of those Drag Race styles, there are many different flavours of drag.

"Even with putting on padding and body shaping, bum and waist and hips and boobs in proportion, I think a lot of UK drag doesn't really pay attention to that style of drag. I think there's a much more political message and there's a lot more different priorities, so long as those priorities are celebrated."

Courtney has temporarily left the UK to return to her native Australia in a bid to become the country’s Eurovision entry.

She'll be competing in Australia Decides with her song 'Fight For Love' on February 9.

"Australia loves Eurovision, I love Eurovision and I feel maybe I was born to do Eurovision. I am just so excited that when Australia started to compete in Eurovision, that I would get to compete," she said.

"I was worried I’d have to defect and say the Brits had claimed me for their own as I live there now, or trek through my ancestry, because my mum was born in Denmark and my dad was born in Germany.

"Australia gets to decide whether I will represent them in Eurovision, if not I’m just going to defect to the UK."
