RuPaul’s Drag Race fans can officially get hyped with gay icons Kylie and Dannii Minogue both finally appearing as judges on the upcoming Drag Race Down Under. 

The Australia and New Zealand-focused series is bringing in the legendary stars for guest spots – and we’re already imagining the killer lip-syncs.

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head? All The Lovers? I Begin To Wonder? Love At First Sight? The opportunities are endless. 

Speaking about the announcement, 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!’ 

‘I got to have a cheeky ‘Untucked’ chat with the girls on RPDR Down Under season one,’ Dannii revealed.

‘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!’ 

As well as the singing sisters, Thor and Jojo Rabbit director Taika Waititi will also be joining the shenanigans of the series. 

The news comes as it was revealed that BBC Three will be airing the latest spin-off of the drag queen competition when it launches in May. 

UK viewers will be able to tune into the fun every Sunday, starting May 2. 

Other guest judges are yet to be announced. 

RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under launches May 2 on BBC Three on iPlayer in the UK.
