What new Drag Race Down Under host loves about the Aussie queens

The latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under premieres on Stan tomorrow and new host Michelle Visage has revealed what it is she adores about the Aussie queens.

Visage has a long history with the Drag Race franchise, serving as a judge on the original since 2011, as well as producing the show and also appearing as a judge on its spin-off RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. 

"The queens Down Under are amazing," she told Today Extra.

"I absolutely love the art of drag in general, but the way the Australasian drag queens do it is adding their own brand, their own spice and their own wicked, wicked sense of humour."

Being a New Yorker, Visage said she gets that no bull, no filter sense of humour the Aussies have and applauded the magic it brings to each season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.

"That's what I love, I relate to it, I get it, it makes me laugh and that's what makes it magical, in my opinion," she said.

This season will also see guest judges, including Love Island Australia host, Sophie Monk, and ARIA winners G Flip and Matt Okine.

"This show first and foremost is about fun and heart and grit and determination and our guest judges, when they come, they are as into it as the queens are and that's the most rewarding thing for me as a judge and a host to see is our guest judges having the most fun time," she said.

RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under season six premieres on Stan tomorrow.
