Charity Kase showing that even the spookiest among us can end up needing a hug (BBC)
Unlike Christmas and people in long-term relationships, Drag Race UK comes more than once a year.
After a delay due to the pandemic, the second season only hit our screens at the start of 2021, now it’s back and as deliciously British as ever.
Self-styled “cocky slag” Veronica Green was first up, announcing that she was back while dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West. All together now: “I made my name in Emerald City, can sing and dance and I’m so pretty…”
Other highlights from this week’s Drag Race UK episode included Spanish-born queen Choriza May explaining her move to the UK: “My favourite thing about Newcastle is my boyfriend’s dick.” Oh my. Also, let’s not forget cis queen Victoria Scone explaining her lack of a dick, saying: “I was born with a vagina, which is still going strong.” What a line.
Here are some other hilarious Twitter highlights from Drag Race UK season three, episode one. Enjoy!

But as RuPaul Charles always says: “Unless they’re paying your bills, pay them bitches no mind.”
