Drag Race UK vs the World series 2 will be strutting its way onto screens soon, and ahead of its premiere, the cast has been ru-vealed.

Just like series 1, this is similar to All Stars in that the cast is full of returning contestants, but with queens from the host nation making up about a third of the line-up, with representatives from other international versions competing against them.

This time around we've got four UK queens, one from each of the first four UK series'. From series 4 there's joint third-placer Jonbers Blonde, and representing series 3 there's the spicy Choriza May.

Series 2's queen of iconic confessionals Tia Kofi is also back, as is Drag Race UK's first ever eliminated queen, Gothy Kendoll.

From Drag Race US, we've got Mayhem Miller (season 10, All Stars 5) and Scarlet Envy (season 11, All Stars 6), while Hannah Conda from Drag Race Down Under season 2 rounds out the list of queens from English-language franchises.

Representing the international shows that Ru doesn't judge, there's Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha (Drag Race España season 1), Keta Minaj (Drag Race Holland season 2), La Grande Dame (Drag Race France season 1), and Marina Summers (Drag Race Philippines season 1).
