Premiering 1 February on BBC Three, the international spin-off will see the queens of Drag Race UK compete against some of the most sickening performers from other global editions of the franchise, including the original US version, Canada’s Drag Race, Drag Race Holland and Drag Race Thailand.
The series was filmed in London and will feature Drag Race UK panellists RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr.
The nine fierce queens competing to be the franchise’s very first Global Drag Race Superstar are as follows: Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea, Cheryl Hole (UK season one), Janey Jacké (Holland season one), Jimbo, Lemon (Canada season 1), Jujubee (US season 2, All Stars 1 and 5), Monique Heart (US season 10 and All Stars 4) and Pangina Heals (Thailand co-host).
Check out the bios for each queen here. UK vs the World will include guest stars such as Clara Amfo, Daisy May Cooper, Jade Thirlwall, Jonathan Bailey, Mel C and Michelle Keegan, all of which can be seen in the first trailer, as well as Johannes Radebe and Katie Price, who will make her Drag Race debut as a panellist on Snatch Game.
