19-year-old Brighton-based drag queen [Anubis Finch](https://twitter.com/dragraceukbbc/status/1427912886882643969?ref=scenemag.co.uk) has been announced as one of the contestants for the UK edition of Drag Race season 3\. After growing up in Seaford, Finch, now lives in Brighton and is a well-known figure in the local drag scene. After explaining that Anubis is the Egyptian God of the afterlife, the performer said that she loves the *“glamour”* of her Egyptian heritage, and is going to bring *“wacky, outrageous, and exquisite”* drag to the show.

She said that she chose her drag name to honour her culture, adding: *“My dad was Egyptian, and when he passed away about three years ago, I wanted a name that paid homage to him.”* She also noted that her grandmother is an *“absolute legend”* and is one of her biggest inspirations, as well being *“partly responsible for the craziness”* of Anubis.

She considers her greatest strength to be her singing skills and four-octave vocal range, saying: *“Not to brag or anything, but I do have quite a wide skill set. I’ve got the vocals, I got the dance moves, I got the comedy, so I really think I’m a bit of a threat.”* Anubis will be competing alongside Charity Kase, Choriza May, Krystal Versace, Elektra Fence, River Medway, Ella Vaday, Kitty Scott-Claus, Vanity Milan, Veronica Green, and Scarlett Harlett. This season will also feature drag queen Victoria Scone, the first-ever cisgender woman to compete on Drag Race.

Drag Race UK season 3 is due to air in September on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
