RuPaul’s Drag Race UK unveils star-studded guest judge line-up for season 7

The BBC has officially revealed the glittering line-up of celebrity guest judges set to join RuPaul for the upcoming seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, airing this autumn on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three.

Among the most anticipated names is Girls Aloud icon Nadine Coyle, who returns to the Drag Race universe after previously appearing in season 3’s Snatch Game and being impersonated in season 6.

Speaking about her new role, Coyle said: “It’s such a dream come true to be a guest judge on this season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK! What an incredible experience to see the immense talent and creativity from the queens, and it was a joy to sit on the judges panel with Michelle, Graham, and the spellbinding RuPaul! You're all in for a treat!”

Joining her on the panel are a host of familiar faces from British television and entertainment. Jamie-Lee O’Donnell from Derry Girls described the experience as “absolute magic”. Jane Horrocks of Absolutely Fabulous fame said she “wanted them all to win”. Comedian and presenter Joel Dommett returns for a second stint and called it “drag Disneyland”.

Sugababes singer Mutya Buena said it was “an honour” to be part of the show. Also appearing are Michelle de Swarte, Mazz Murray, Sophie Willan and Susan Wokoma, each bringing their own flair and enthusiasm to the judging table.

Radio host Jordan North and returning choreographer Claudimar Neto will also make appearances, with Neto once again guiding the queens through high-energy routines.

The new season promises fierce fashion, unforgettable challenges, and plenty of drama as twelve new queens enter the werkroom to compete for the coveted title of the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar. Regular judges Michelle Visage, Alan Carr, and Graham Norton will be back alongside RuPaul to deliver critiques, laughs, and iconic runway moments.
