Kylie and Dannii Minogue are stepping into the werk room for the inaugural season of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’.
The pop siblings will appear during the first Australian season of the hit show, along with director, screenwriter and actor Taika Waititi, when the programme premieres May 1 on the Stan network.
Kylie said: “I’m SO excited to finally be a part of RuPaul’s Drag Race for the first series Down Under.
“It’s such an iconic show and I can’t wait to watch the contestants perform their hearts out to win the title of Down Under’s first Drag Superstar!”
Added Dannii: “I got to have a cheeky ‘Untucked’ chat with the girls on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under Season 1.
“They had come straight from the runway challenge so it was exciting and tense all at the same time, not knowing who was going to have to lip sync for their life!”
It’s yet to be confirmed whether the stars will be judging runway looks, mentoring a maxi challenge, or dishing expert tips in the werk room to the show’s first crop of queens.
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Down under’ sees host Ru and US/UK judge Michelle Visage occupy the panel, alongside Australian comedian Rhys Nicholson.
The queens taking part include Anita Wigl’it, Art Simone, Coco Jumbo, Elektra Shock, Etcetera Etcetera, JoJo Zaho, Karen from Finance, Kita Mean, Maxi Shield and Scarlet Adam.
For UK fans, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’ will air Sundays on BBC iPlayer – one day after its Australian release.
