RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is back, and 12 new queens are ready to serve charisma, fashion, and plenty of shade in season seven. The competition returns this fall on WOW Presents Plus, with RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr, and Graham Norton on the judging panel.
As always, queens will battle through comedy, sewing, and performance challenges in pursuit of RuPeter Badges before facing off in high-stakes lip syncs. This year’s cast spans seasoned performers, camp comedy queens, and fashion-forward newcomers, and each brings something distinctly their own.
Meet the Queens
Catrin Feelings (26, Rhondda Valley)
The “blonde bilingual bombshell” from South Wales promises camp classics, sparkles, and a Snatch Game to remember. “Girls, she is coming for it!” she teased.
Tayris Mongardi (27, Brighton)
Brighton’s self-described “Titan” mixes uptown glamour with downtown charm. Her drag celebrates Black female pop culture, and she’s confident she’ll turn heads on the runway.
Sally TM (34, South London)
This South London queen thrives on wordplay and wit. Expect razor-sharp comedy paired with a high-fashion edge. “I’m here to make you laugh, then gag,” she said.
Silllexa Diction (29, Liverpool)
Known for theatrical looks and vocal chops, Silllexa brings a mix of powerhouse performance and Scouse humor. She calls herself “the pop diva you didn’t know you needed.”
Pasty (30, Manchester)
This cheeky Manchester queen leans into parody and camp. “If it’s daft, sparkly, and a bit wrong, it’s probably me,” she joked.
Nyongbella (25, London)
Fashion-driven and polished, Nyongbella wants to fuse drag with high art. “I want to make the runway a gallery space,” she said.
Paige Three (31, Birmingham)
With a name that nods to tabloid glamour, Paige delivers pageant beauty and bawdy humor. “She’s glossy, she’s cheeky, and she’s not afraid to stir the pot.”
Elle Vosque (28, Glasgow)
Elle brings Scottish sass, couture gowns, and what she calls “a dangerously sharp tongue.” She’s eyeing the sewing challenges as her domain.
Viola (23, Leeds)
The youngest in the competition, Viola is here to prove age doesn’t equal inexperience. “I’ve been rehearsing this moment since I first put on a wig,” she said.
Chai T Grande (29, Cardiff)
Serving Ariana-inspired pop princess energy, Chai T Grande blends campy impersonation with powerhouse performances. Expect high ponytails and higher notes.
Bonnie Ann Clyde (32, Belfast)
A rebel queen from Northern Ireland, Bonnie loves outlaw imagery and bold comedy. “If I’m not robbing the stage, I’m robbing your attention,” she said.
Bones (35, London)
Edgy and alternative, Bones mixes punk fashion with drag theatrics. She calls her style “a love letter to chaos… with lashes.”
A Season of Surprises
With comedy queens, fashion visionaries, and plenty of wildcard personalities, season seven promises no shortage of drama and spectacle. From Catrin’s Welsh sparkle to Bones’ punk edge, the lineup reflects just how expansive and inventive UK drag has become.
Fans can also look forward to Dear Viv, premiering Aug. 28 on WOW Presents Plus. The documentary celebrates season one champion The Vivienne, honoring the legacy of one of the franchise’s most beloved winners.
As RuPaul says, the time has come… may the best drag queen win!
