Ross told The Daily Star he’s been working with DJ drag artist Jodie Harsh on the project. ““I’ve been working with Jodie on a UK version of RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

“Unfortunately we have had to take a break because of some family issues. ”

“But we’re hoping to pick it up again in the near future.”

Ross attended a drag night at the Camden cabaret bar Black Cap last month, and says he is a fan of the UK’s drag scene, citing his love for drag queen Meth (who is the star of club night Meth’s Lab).

“I love drag and I love Meth – the performer – as well as Betty Bottom Dollar.

“I think it’s a fabulous art.”

Ross confessed he is a huge fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race, adding “I am definitely serving ‘middle-aged-realness!”.
