Dame Joanna Lumley to be guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Joanna Lumley will be a guest judge on the next series of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’.
The 76-year-old actress has been at the top of producers’ wish lists for years and following delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ star has finally filmed an episode for the upcoming series of the show.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “Execs have been trying to get Joanna on the show for years. The pandemic caused a delay, but finally it has worked out.
“Everyone is so excited that they managed to make it happen. Joanna is easily one of the best signings in the show’s history.
“She’s a bona fide legend and national treasure.”
The former model was chosen for the show because of her decades of experience in the entertainment industry.
The insider added: “Joanna has done it all. If anyone can dish out handy advice to contestants, it’s got to be her. She knows how to make it in the industry and stay at the top of your game for decades.”
Other guest judges on the upcoming series will include Alison Hammond, AJ Odudu and Tess Daly.
A source previously said of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star Tess: “Tess really showed off her edge during this stint and her witty one-liners and humour went down well.”
Meanwhile, Alison is delighted to have been given a slot on the judging panel after previously asking Alan Carr to help her get a job.
She said: “I love ‘Drag Race’. They’re on another level aren’t they?”
Asked if she’d like to be a guest judge, she said: “Oh, I’d love to do it, I’d absolutely love to do it. Can you put a word in, babes?”
