Today the cast of the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race has been announced. The Dutch drag queen Janey Jacké, known for the first season of Drag Race Holland is one of the queens who will once again battle for the crown in the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK versus the World, a spin-off of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Janey is the first Dutch queen ever to participate in an international season of the Drag Race franchise. The series airs on February 1st on BBC3, BBC iPlayer and via World of Wonder.

“To be the first Dutch queen to be asked for an international Drag Race is of course a huge honour. I learned so much from RuPaul and the other participants during filming. The whole experience is one I will never forget.” Says to Janey Jacke.

In RuPaul's Drag Race: UK versus the World, a total of nine queens, who have previously competed in various seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race around the world, compete against each other. In addition to Dutch pride Janey Jacké, the spin-off also features queens from America, Canada and of course the United Kingdom. The queens competing for the crown alongside Janey are: Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea, Cheryl Hole, Jimbo, Jujubee, Lemon, Mo Heart, and Pangina Heals. RuPaul will serve as host and main judge. He is assisted in this by well-known faces from the show, like Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr take a seat behind the jury desk.
