"They’re are all going to be guest judges on series three of #DragRaceUK."

Paying homage to Bimini Bon Boulash's phrase, they added cheekily: "Not a joke, just a fact."

"After watching the show I always felt uplifted… it was THE BEST tonic!"

Bridgerton actress Nicola Couglhan also said in response to the BBC Tweet: "Because I am what? A Sickening Extra Special Guest Judge Bish!"

"When RuPaul asked me on the @dragraceukbbc panel I felt gorgeous, I felt perfect, I felt like Linda Evangelista, like a model If your question is U K Hun did you feel ready?

"I didn’t have to get ready I stay ready,"

Years and Years star Russell who says his own drag name will be Ruth Top Garden added: "It is such an inspirational show and to be a part of this magical world is sensational."

He went on to add his own drag name would be Ruth Top Garden.
