Meanwhile, all 10 stars are set to make their first official appearance as part of Manchester Pride on August 24.

Last month, it was confirmed Cheryl and Dame Twiggy have joined the BBC Three show as guest judges, with the pop star heaping praise on the "inspiring" programme.

She said at the time: "I am a huge fan of 'Drag Race'. I have always admired the work and dedication that goes into drag and have learned over the years that it is an art form.

"It is not only fun and glamorous but equally as skillful and admirable, I find it incredibly inspiring. I just love the makeup, creativity and the drama. I am honoured to be a guest judge!"

British icon Twiggy - whose real name is Lesley Lawson - loves the "creativity" of the show and feels she'll have "brilliant fun".

She said: "You see the most gorgeous women in the most glamorous outfits. I love the creativity of the clothes and the makeup. I have been to a few drag shows and they're brilliant fun."

The pair join previously announced judges, Spice Girl Geri Horner, Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall 'Game of Thrones' star Maisie Williams, 'Amazing Spider-Man' actor Andrew Garfield and 'Chewing Gum' star Michaela Coel.
