The BBC has announced the premiere date for the second series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Filming of the new run was interrupted by the coronavirus lockdown in March but managed to resume - and finish - in October.

RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton will all be returning as judges, while guest judges are thought to include Dawn French and Gemma Collins.

In a post on the show's official Twitter account today, it was confirmed that the new series will begin on Thursday, January 14 at 7pm on BBC Three.

The news means that the second UK series will air at the same time as the 13th season of the US version, which begins on New Year's Day.
