Garfield – who is best known for his film work including two Spider-Man movies – opened up about being a fan of the show and said, ‘The creativity is always outside the box and it’s one of the many reasons I love and watch this show.’

On the official Twitter account for the UK version, it said: “It’s official: Drag Race super fan Andrew Garfield is going to be sashaying down the runway as a guest judge on #DragRaceUK very soon!

“@bbcthree’s RuPaul’s #DragRaceUK. Coming soon to iPlayer.”

Coel, who wrote and created the comedy Chewing Gum, once said about drag: “I love that you have to dare, you have to dare and drop all your societal norms and restraints that you’ve been taught and you have to dare to embody something higher.”
