The gayverse is all of a buzz after sources said that RuPaul's drag race could be coming to Channel 5 later this year. Last year it was reported that Jonathan Ross had obtained the rights to develop a UK version of the hit drag show in the US. Jonathan previously said, “I’ve been working with Jodie on a UK version [of the show]… Unfortunately we have had to take a break because of some family issues. But we’re hoping to pick it up again in the near future.”

Last month we spoke to La Voix who said that she'd jump at the chance to star in the UK series. La Voix became one of the UK's most famous drag queens after appearing on Britains Got Talent in 2014.

Michelle Visage, who is a judge on Drag Race is currently starring in Celebrity Big Brother which is being aired on Channel 5.

The Race Family page said that they were expecting to reveal more information within the next two weeks. We reached out to Channel 5 for comment on the show, a spokesperson for the channel said, "There are no discussions around a UK version of the show".
