Scarlett Moffatt says presenting the new ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ podcast is her "dream job".
The former ‘Gogglebox’ star is to team up with TV producer Baby Lame to co-host the BBC Three series’ pod, and the former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star admits landing the role is a "dream come true" for her.
She said: "If I could pick a dream job it would be sitting in a room with a fabulous drag queen chatting about RuPaul’s Drag Race.
"I have a life-size cut out of RuPaul himself and Bianca del Rio – honestly, this is a dream come true for me.
"I cannot believe that me and Baby Lame are the hosts of the brand new podcast for BBC Sounds – discussing every inch of the UK version.
"Not long to go until I get in the studio, meet all the queens and get to werk. Yass Queen!"
Baby – who produces the ‘Drag Race UK’ TV series – says he and Scarlett will be "gobby, fun and a bit rough round the edges" on the pod, and he cannot wait to get started.
The drag queen added: "The UK has birthed many great double acts over the years, Morecambe and Wise, French and Saunders … Holly and Phil.
"But I’m not sure anyone is going to be quite ready for Moffatt and Lame … including the BBC.
"I can’t wait to join Scarlett and get stuck into the Official Drag Race UK Podcast. Just like the UK drag scene, we’re gobby, fun and a bit rough round the edges."
The podcast series – which will be available weekly on BBC Sounds – will consist of eight episodes, plus an introductory ‘Meet the Queens’ special, and feature analysis from judges, celebrity guests and the queens of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ on their favourite moments from each episode and all the gossip about what happened that week.
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ will air on BBC Three from October 3rd.
