As the fifth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK fast approaches, the guest judges have been announced for this latest outing of the reality competition series - and it's a seriously starry line-up.
This year's guest judges will include Heartstopper and Doctor Who's Yasmin Finney, comedian and actor Aisling Bea, pop star Alexandra Burke, The Good Wife's Cush Jumbo, designer Daphne Guinness and The Masked Singer and Survivor host Joel Dommett.

Finney said of joining the show: "I’m a guest judge and it feels out of this world! I felt like I was on another planet during filming… Planet Joy!"
