Michelle Visage has responded to backlash regarding the casting for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season five. On 11 September, BBC Three announced the sickening new line-up of queens for the show’s fifth outing.
Unlike past seasons, the new batch of episodes are set to feature 10 talented performers fighting for the title of ‘Britain’s Next Drag Superstar’ — as opposed to 12.
The cast is set to feature: Alexis Saint-Pete, Banksie, Cara Melle, DeDeLicious, Ginger Johnson, Kate Butch, Michael Marouli, Miss Naomi Carter, Tomara Thomas and Vicki Vivacious.
While the season five news has left the fandom buzzing, some viewers have expressed disappointment over the lack of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish queens.
