The celebrities might be new to this, but I won&#8217;t hold back with my critique.

The bar is high so they need to bring their A-game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beckett said, \u201cI know just how hard this is after attempting drag myself with my mate Romesh.

Who knows\u2026.maybe!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melanie C said, \u201cI\u2019ve always been a huge fan of drag and in 2019, I was lucky enough to do a World Tour or Prides with some of the most wonderful and creative queens out there!\u00a0 On that tour, I really learned what\u2019s needed to cut the mustard on this fabulous world and I can\u2019t wait to see how our celebrities measure up with their incredible mentors guiding them every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams said, \u201cIt\u2019s so fab that we get to celebrate drag and showcase this wonderfully entertaining craft. There&#8217;s so much talent within the drag community and the viewers at home will get to see how much hard work goes into the art form.
