Ru Paul's Drag Race queens The Vivienne and Baga Chipz land new Netflix series

Move over Gogglebox, there's a new duo in town back with some proper 'mother-tucking' entertainment to get viewers through self-isolation.

Ru Paul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne has teamed up with her best pal Baga Chipz to host Netflix's new show I Like To Watch UK.

Teasing the new Netflix release, The Vivienne shared a sultry pose next to an enormous Netflix logo yesterday.

"Something’s happening today!!! You ready?  #netflix   @bagachipz  and I did a little something for you," she revealed.

In each web episode the glamorous duo get comfy on the sofa and recap some of Netflix's biggest TV shows.

During the first episode which aired on March 25, Baga Chipz and The Vivienne get candid about popular TV show Sex Education.

The critically acclaimed coming of age drama  follows high-school character Otis alongside his sex therapist mum, and certainly received some interesting responses from the fabulous duo.

As the glamorous pair catch up on an episode of the show, viewers will also learn more about the queen's own sex experiences and there appears to be no holding back.

The spin off series I Like To Watch UK is modelled on the U.S version that goes by the same name.

In the original, fellow Ru Paul stars Trixie Mattel and Katya also nestle in for a night of catching up on some Netflix telly faves over in the United States.

The drag queens have gone from strength to strength ever since appearing in the first season of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK which aired at the end of 2019.

Despite posing as stiff competition, the pair struck up a famously entertaining friendship.

The Vivienne has even gone on to record a BBC 3 programme since leaving the show called The Vivienne Takes Hollywood.

Whereas fans can sigh a breath of relief that they can now get another weekly hit of drag queen fun, it follows shortly after TV bosses were forced to pull the second season of UK's Drag Race because of coronavirus.

"In light of the spread of Covid-19, after much consideration, production on  RuPaul's Drag Race UK  will be temporarily pausing filming both in consultation with and supported by the BBC," a representative for the show explained.

I Like to Watch UK  airs on Netflix UK's YouTube Channel every Wednesday.
