So, I’m just I’m so grateful to have this opportunity and for people to see that on the screen and know that it’s okay… and you know, they can do it too”, adding, “There aren’t many of us here in Australia who get this opportunity. I do not take it lightly.” AboutRuPaul is back in the bush and is on the hunt for the Next Drag Superstar from Down Under and the fiercely competitive, heart-warming show will be aired exclusively on iPlayer and BBC Three this Summer.
