Matt Lucas, Kathy Burke and Oti Mabuse are confirmed as guest judges on the new series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Three more celebrity guest judges have been confirmed for the new series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Regular judges Alan Carr, Graham Norton and Michelle Visage are all returning for the new series alongside RuPaul, with a different special guest joining them on the panel each week.

The first three guests have now been revealed as Great British Bake Off host Matt Lucas, Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse and Gimme Gimme Gimme comedian Kathy Burke.

"It was on my bucket list to be on the show, but my years of wearing tights are behind me, so I was both relieved and delighted to be asked to be on the panel," said Lucas. "I was hugely impressed by the brilliance and invention on the show, and it was one of the most entertaining days I've ever had."

Burke said: "I'm a big Drag Race fan, so It was absolutely brilliant to meet RuPaul and Michelle Visage - and I loved the very-kind-to-old-ladies lighting."

The new series launches on BBC Three next month.
