The Vivienne and Baga Chipz host new Netflix series ‘I Like to Watch UK’

The 'Drag Race UK' stars will spill the tea and deliver their verdicts on the streaming giant's hottest TV shows.

Not even a global pandemic can stop The Vivienne and Baga Chipz from taking over your television screens – no mother-tucking way!

In an announcement that should make everybody feel “much better!” (fist pump optional), the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK favourites have joined forces to host Netflix’s I Like To Watch UK.

A bit like Gogglebox, but with better eye make-up, a splash of scalding-hot tea and more than a smidgeon of shade, the series is based on the US version helmed by Ru royalty Katya and Trixie Mattel.

Each episode sees fierce queens The Vivienne – who snatched the crown on Drag Race UK – and her best mate Baga critique and deliver their verdicts on different shows on the streaming giant.

For the first helping, the category is… season two of the acclaimed drama Sex Education, starring Gillian Anderson and Asia Butterfield, as teenage sex therapist Otis Milburn. 

Will it be 10s, 10s, 10s across the board? Or will the pair read the show to filth? Find out as the debut episode is available to watch now:

Future instalments of I Like to Watch UK can be viewed every Wednesday at 3pm GMT, exclusively on the Netflix UK YouTube Channel.
