Drag Race UK reveals tonight’s Snatch Game line-up ahead of the hotly-anticipated episode
Drag Race UK is sashaying back onto screens tonight and it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for – Snatch Game time.
Wigs are being adjusted, faces powdered and shade sharpened all in preparation for this momentous, glorious moment of Drag Race history as the first UK challenge in the show’s history.
“Don’t say we’re not good to you,” the official Twitter account for the show stated as it rolled the red carpet out for the first sneak peaks of who’s who.
Major spoiler alert. Who’s playing who?
Baga Chipz will be the snatcher of wigs as she portrays the late British politician Margaret Thatcher. Complete with burning red eyes and fluffy pink slippers.

It looks like Divina De Campo is turning the heat up as cooking icon Julia Child. It’ll be a recipe for success.

Cheryl Hole is enshrouding herself in bottled tan and may-mays as she’s portraying The Only Way is Essex icon, Gemma Collins. Unconfirmed if she’ll be falling down a hole on the stage, though.

Speaking of an orange-toned tan, The Vivienne is ready to set the agenda as US president Donald Trump, donning joggers, leather sandals and a smarmy smile.

Three wigs, one drag queen.
Seems that not a single Beyoncé is to be found in the first round of the challenge, with many of the queens looking at the UK’s colourful back-catalogue of sassy presenters and infamous lawmakers for inspiration.
No Kim Woodburn, though.
Spice Girl Geri Horner is set to join Mama Ru, Michelle Visage and Alan Carr as a guest judge for tonight’s episode.
Vivienne was shown to be torn about whose wig to throw on in a preview clip dropped last night:
That's right queens, we've got an EXCLUSIVE snatch game ru-veal for you!
Watch as @THEVIVIENNEUK tries to decide between three different characters. #DragRaceUK pic.twitter.com/jFxPTXz1YD— RuPaul's Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc) October 23, 2019
As much as we’re totally stanning drag Donald, a Kim Woodburn, Cilia Black mash-up would have dulled the pain of our burning planet and disintegrating political climate, to be honest.
Regardless, it seems tonight’s Snatch Game is going to be a lorra, lorra fun for sure.
