The inaugural series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK has featured a seriously impressive roll call of guest judges but there was one panellist fans were particularly excited for - and she did not disappoint.
Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, whose love for the show has been well-documented, finally got to take her seat next to Ru in the latest episode.
The singer, 26, helped share feedback on a task which saw the remaining six hopefuls go head to head as girl groups.
And from the very first time she appeared on screen, it was clear Thirlwall was having the time of her life.
As Ru walked down the runway, Thirlwall cheered and introducing her, the drag superstar asked: “What will be the biggest difference between your style of judging and Simon Cowell's?”
Thirwall replied: “Well, for starters Ru, Simon has much bigger t*ts.”
As Ru, Michelle Visage and Graham Norton laughed, she added: “It really is true.”
Once the queens had performed and walked the runway in their day at the races-inspired ensembles, the Little Mix star later won praise for her critiques:
Tweeting before the episode aired, Thirlwall wrote on the Little Mix account: “THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME I’M NOT OKAY.”
The episode was one of the best of the current series and saw three queens make Drag Race Herstory by all being crowned episode winners.
Five now remain in the running to be crowned the UK’s first ever Drag Superstar.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
