Last updated 17th Jan 2022
Nine international world-renowned Drag Race queens from Mama Ru’s global sisterhood will take to the world stage to battle it out for the crown in a brand-new series: RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Vs The World.
Iconic queens from different series from across the globe will compete in an international arena, showcasing their country’s finest drag in their bid to become the Queen of the World.
Belfast’s very own Blu Hydrangea will take to runway this season and is more than ready to slay!
Speaking ahead of the show, she described herself as no longer just a GCSE art project...she’s a masterpiece!
“I’m ready to make it to the top. I deserve to reign supreme. When I walked into season one, I said let’s paint the town blue. Well, how about we paint the world blue!
“I am the biggest fan of Drag Race. I watch every single season – subtitled or not. I hope that I get to meet some of my idols… and then get to send them home!”
Breaking the news on social media this morning, Blu wrote: “How ‘bout we paint the world Blu, bitch!? 💙🌍✨I am so excited that I can finally tell the world that I have been invited back to the Olympics of Drag to show off what Blu 2.0 can do 🤩
“I’m not only gonna rep for the UK, but I’m doing this for Northern Ireland! 👑🍀”
“I have to thank everyone that I have met & every opportunity I’ve had since my first season as it has truly shaped me into a better Queen- one that is fit for a crown 🧚🏻♂️💙
This is a DREAM COME TRUE and I’m gonna make you all proud 🥰”
