Drag Race star Jinkx Monsoon shares update on her upcoming Doctor Who appearance
Drag Race star Jinkx Monsoon has shared new details about her upcoming appearance in Doctor Who. Back in April, showrunner Russell T Davies announced that the Queen of All Queens would be joining the highly anticipated 14th season – which is set to feature Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor. “In a galaxy of comets and supernovas, here comes the biggest star of all,” showrunner Russell T Davies said. “Jinkx Monsoon is on a collision course with the TARDIS, and ‘Doctor Who’ will never be the same again.” In an additional statement, Jinkx expressed her excitement for her villainous character, stating: “I’m honoured, thrilled, and utterly excited to join ‘Doctor Who!’ Russell T Davies is a visionary and a brilliant writer — I can’t wait to get into the weeds with him and the crew!
I hope there’s room in the TARDIS for my luggage.” Since that fateful day, fans of the Portland-based queen have been eager to find out more details about her role – which has been kept under wraps.
Fortunately, Jinkx shared new details about her Doctor Who journey during a recent interview with Variety. While it was previously reported that she had already begun filming, the All Stars 7 talent revealed that she’s still preparing for her role. “I haven’t begun filming.
I’ve been having lots of meetings, costume fittings and talking with the director and the producer about the script,” she explained.
