Which drag queens are left in Drag Race UK vs The World and which series have they been in before?

Drag Race fans were aghast last night when Canadian Queen Jimbo was asked to leave BBC Three show Drag Race UK vs The World.

Pagina Heals, representing Thailand, had the power to decide who left when she won the lip sync against Holland's Janey Jacké. She chose the lipstick representing Jimbo, saying it was an ‘incredibly hard decision’ to make’.

‘I’m just going off my heart and how they rose up to the challenge in the Rusical. I chose… Jimbo to go home,’ she added.

Viewers were sad to see Jimbo leave, with Twitter user @Stummyistubby saying there is “literally no reason to watch” the show anymore.

Jimbo was emotional when leaving the show. She described RuPaul as “my icon and a legend”, and said “This is the greatest dream of my life and I will never forget it and I thank you so much.”

She chose to channel her upset into a memorable mirror message, reading ‘My name is Pangina and I am a stupid idiot. P.S. I love you all. P.P.S Except Jimbo.’

Jimbo's exit signals the end of the Canadian representation in the competition, as Pagina Heals also sent Lemon home in week one.

This gives Jujubee another chance to prove herself to judges Ru Paul and Michelle Visage after a few weeks at the bottom.

What happened on Drag Race UK vs The World this week?

This week, Graham Norton and extra special guest judge from Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey, joined the panel as the Queens brought out their best razzle dazzle for the Rusical: West End Wendys: The Comeback.

The seven queens took to the stage to dance and sing as washed up stars who want another chance.

The library was also open, and each queen stepped up to read. Jujubee won, giving her the power to decide the casting. She was under pressure to prove herself this week, after scathing critiques from the judges last week.

While Cheryl Hole was asked to sashay away, the judges told Jujubee they expect more from her.

While Jujubee did her best to impress by paying homage to Liza Minnelli, she didn't quite hit the mark as her runway walk was also disappointing.

She dropped to the bottom with Jimbo, who had served a powerful dotty runway look but failed to serve as Toto the Dog in the musical production.

After such a controversial week, who's left?

There are six queens left: Pagina Heals, Baga Chipz, Jujubee, Janey Jacké, Blu Hydrangea and Mo Heart.

Pagina Heals is a Thai Drag Queen known for judging on RuPaul's Drag Race Thailand. Given that this series was the first she's being judged rather than doing the judging herself, she's taken it in her stride to prove her charms, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

Baga Chipz is the loud mouth comedy queen from West Bromwich, who came third in series one on Drag Race UK. She's since shot to Drag Queen fame, appreciated for her strong character acting, bimbo branding and humour.

Also representing the UK is Blu Hydrangea, the Northern Irish queen who is known for serving colourful looks. She's won Miss Congeniality on Drag Race UK season one, solidifying her as the sweet yet surprisingly vulgar Queen.

Competing with the UK queens from across the pond is Jujubee, who is something of a Drag Race veteran. She's been on Drag Race US Season 2, All Stars Season 1 and 5, and now Drag Race Uk vs the World.

Also fighting for America is Mo Heart, formerly known as Monique Heart. Sheś got two seasons under her belt, placing 8th on the 10th Season of Drag Race UK, and runner up on All Stars Season Four. She's back again with new branding, favouring genderless performance.

Holding the torch for Holland is Janey Jacké, who just missed out on the crown for Season 1 of Drag Race in her home country.
