Geri Horner is to be a guest judge on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’, and it is said the Spice Girls singer will be a “perfect fit” for the show.
The Spice Girls singer is one of a number of stars, including her bandmate Emma Bunton, who have agreed to take part in the BBC Three show later this year, and she is tipped to be a “perfect fit” for the panel thanks to her “funny and fearless” nature.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column:
“Geri is the perfect fit for Drag Race because she’s funny and fearless. Plus she knows exactly what she’s talking about.
“When Geri takes part she’ll be faced with a couple of wannabe acts and maybe a Spice Girls hit or two.”
Lorraine Kelly is also expected to be a guest judge on the show, as is Cheryl.
The 35-year-old singer is said to have filmed an episode of the upcoming reality contest alongside RuPaul and Michelle Visage, and one of the rotating residents, Alan Carr and Graham Norton.
The former Girls Aloud star gave her verdict after the contestants performed one of her biggest solo singles.
A source said:
“Girls Aloud have had a massive impact on pop culture in the UK so telly bosses were desperate to get Cheryl involved.
“She jumped at the chance and recently visited the set to film as a guest judge.
“Cheryl gave her comments on contestants who performed a lip-sync to her 2012 number one single ‘Call My Name’. Viewers will love it.”
Graham recently said he was “ridiculously happy” to have signed up for the UK show.
He said:
“Becoming part of the drag race family makes me ridiculously happy! I can’t wait to see what the UK drag queens bring to the party, but they better weeeeerk.”
Alan added:
“Wow! To be sat next to Michelle Visage and Mama Ru as a guest judge on possibly one of my all-time favourite shows ever is a dream come true.
“I can’t wait to see what the UK Queens have got in store – it’s going to be sickening.”
