RuPaul's Drag Race UK live show is adding a Newport date and it will feature local star Tayce

It's not a push to say that it hasn't exactly been a great year so far, but at least there's one thing 2021 has given us we can all be thankful for - Drag Race UK's Welsh superstar, Tayce.

From the moment she burst onto our screens, we have been obsessed with the sharp-tongued, Welsh flag-wearing queen of quips.

With the second series of the show coming to an end last month, we were initially a bit concerned about the prospect of a Tayce-shaped void in our lives.

However, the panic is now over - if you can hold onto your excitement for a little while longer, that is.

Queen of Newport, Tayce, will be returning to her hometown next year as part of the UK-wide RuPaul’s Drag Race UK tour.

Tayce will take to the stage in Newport’s ICC on April 16, 2022 along with fellow finalists Bimini Bon Boulash, Ellie Diamond and this series' winner, Lawrence Chaney.

The tour will also make stops at St David's Hall in Cardiff on February 19, 2022 and there's also a date at Llandudno's Venue Cymru on February 16, 2022.

We were originally introduced to Tayce as one of the stars of Drag Race series two back in December last year, when she burst into our lives, and our hearts, with a cheery "bore da, b*****s!"

Then, when the second series of RuPaul's Drag Race started back in January, Tayce quickly became one of its most popular stars.

From the moment she walked out onto the runway serving a hometown-inspired look, looking absolutely incredible wearing a glitter-encrusted Welsh flag, we were obsessed.

And, with almost 550k followers on Instagram at the moment, Tayce is definitely putting the 'Port on the world map.

You can check out some of our favourite Tayce moments here.

Next year's tour is set to be the biggest ever RuPaul and her team of queens have put on in the UK, with 41 dates currently planned throughout Wales, England and Scotland.

Tickets for the Newport show will go on sale at 10am on Friday April 9, and you can grab yours here.
