Watch RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 7: Preview
Hold onto your wigs because Drag Race UK is tearing back on to our TV screens tonight. Hosted by the iconic Mama Ru, get ready to be gooped and gagged by the sickening talents of twelve new queens from all over the country, each determined to prove they’ve got what it takes to be crowned “the UK’s next drag superstar.” So, hennies, brace yourself for more fierce lewks and jaw-dropping runway presentations as we explain below how to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 7 online absolutely free with BBC iPlayer and from anywhere in the world.
The werkroom is about to be officially reopened, where over the next 10 weeks we’ll see a gag-worthy lineup of brand-new queens fight to prove they’ve got the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent to slay the competition. Through regular themed runways and maxi challenges (including Snatch Game, a perennial favorite), the girls will bust their humps to impress the judges and, hopefully, walk away with a RuPeter badge or two.
As ever, the judging panel will comprise of squirrel friends Ru, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton. But they’ll also be joined by a glittering roster of celebrity guests, as national treasures like Jane Horrocks (Absolutely Fabulous) and Girls Aloud legend Nadine Coyle provide the queen's with gentle criticism and heartfelt encouragement.
So, what’s the class of Drag Race UK 2025 looking like? We’ve got two Irish queens (Bonnie Ann Clyde and Elle Vosque), a star of the Welsh drag scene (Catrin Feelings), and Cornwall’s own 30-year-old Pasty. But Sadly there’s not a whiff of haggis, with no Scottish contestants this time around. Meanwhile, early impressions suggest multihyphenate Tayris Mongardi could be tough competition (if she can break the Brighton curse). And Paige Three has previously wowed performing for one famous old queen, having taken part in monarch Elizabeth II's 90th birthday celebrations... so perhaps that'll offer some kind of advantage with Ru.
