RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season two is full of surprises and will keep you on your toes from the first elimination.

With a new set of 12 sickening queens, the competition is immediately tough. However, week four brings huge surprises when one queen voluntarily exits the competition during the lip sync only for the queens to go to the Werk Room after to find out that filming must be shut down due to the increasingly changing coronavirus.

After seven months off, the remaining queens return stronger than ever. It’s interesting to see their growth – and several plastic surgeries – that happened over their break. One contestant has an insane upward trajectory, and the finale results are honestly disappointing.

The guest judges aren’t as well known as the first season, but the queens make up for it.

Final say: Twist after twist. ★★★★☆
