Australian RuPaul’s Drag Race star, TV personality, and singer Courtney Act will be a judge on the upcoming UK show Queens For The Night.
The ITV one-night event will see British celebrities unleash their inner drag queen as they compete live against each other for the crown.
The contestants will be judged on singing, dancing, lip-syncing, impression, comedy, and of course drag with the studio audience voting for the winner.
According to Act, “This is going to be a fabulous show. The celebrities might be new to this, but I won’t hold back with my critique. They might all be experts in their own fields but they’re stepping into my domain now and I want to see some exceptional performances. The bar is high so they need to bring their ‘A’ game.”
I'm excited to announce that I will be coming to the UK to cast my critical eye over some celebrity Drag novices in a brand new show called Queens For The Night on @itv. It's going to be huge fun and I can't wait. #QueensForTheNight #QueensITV https://t.co/xCSpS7WqRj pic.twitter.com/IYdL5yKWnE
