Ahead of the first RuPaul's Drag Race U.K. series, we sniffed out the members of the Brit Crew. It is hard, investigative work but someone has to do it. After the show debuted, some additional members were premiered, in a promotional image as well as on the show. By the time things wrapped up, the team was up to seven. But now, with the pandemic-timed second series, Drag Race has narrowed things down a bit.
In a brand new promotional video, the updated Brit Crew has been unveiled. The new team is down to three members, with only one from the original ensemble. In an auto shop-themed clip, the trio appears greased up, hard at work with little details about themselves.

We are almost in a full-out sprint towards the premiere of the debut season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. It marks the first non-US iteration of the show with the titular Ru as host, and the team is certainly pulling out all the stops. They have a celebrity-packed lineup of judges and have already dropped their list of competing queens. There have been previews of the first episode, and we already know that the theme of the first episode's runway has to do with British royalty. With about two more weeks before the show even airs, what else is there to talk about?
The Brit Crew, that's what!
The Pit Crew is a staple of Drag Race, and we are always pretty stoked when we see a new face. Now having a whole new crew of five guys, seems like too much to handle.
As the true "investigative journalists" we are, we've pulled together all of their Instagram accounts so you can get better acquainted before the show starts.
*After episode 1 debuted, two additional Brit Crew members were revealed and this story was updated.
