The third series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK began airing on 23 September 2021.[1]
The cast of the third series was officially announced on 18 August 2021 on social media.[2] The series saw the return of Veronica Green, who was forced to withdraw from the second series of the show after testing positive for COVID-19, and received an open invitation for the third series. The series also welcomed Victoria Scone, the franchise's first ever cisgender female contestant since its beginning in 2009.[3]
The winner of the third series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK was Krystal Versace, being the youngest person to ever win a season of the franchise, with Ella Vaday and Kitty Scott-Claus as the runners-up.
In November 2020, BBC confirmed plans to air a third series, and casting closed the same month. The series was filmed in March 2021,[4] [5] in Manchester.[6]
