Ant and Dec stunned viewers of Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend as they unveiled full drag transformations for a special performance with the winners of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
The legendary TV duo brought the joys of drag to Saturday night primetime TV as they introduced their drag alter-egos ‘Lady Antoinette’ and ‘Donna Lee’ to ITV audiences.
Ant and Dec were joined by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winners The Vivienne, Lawrence Chaney and Krystal Versace for an explosive rendition of their new charity single ‘We Werk Together’.
In true Drag Race style, the segment was introduced and narrated by RuPaul, who was joined by Drag Race UK judge Michelle Visage as he welcomed Ant and Dec’s drag alter-egos to the stage with the words “Child, I hear there are some new queens in town”.
‘We Werk Togther’, which will raise money for UK food and hunger charity The Trussell Trust, had already reached Number 4 on the UK iTunes chart by Sunday morning (20 February).
