In a first look at the premiere episode, Mama Ru sashays down the runway in a bright green minidress with sharp shoulders, matching green high heels, hot pink earrings and platinum blonde hair.
Introducing Visage as a “royal pain in the arse, ” and Carr as “super funny and super specsy”, Ru then introduces Garfield as the special guest judge of the week.
The former Spider-Man actor, who is a self-proclaimed super-fan of the show, said: “Ru, I am so happy. I feel like a competition winner and the prize is a day in gay heaven. Thank you so so much.”
Ru replies: “I will let you know what gay heaven is in just a few minutes, I’m going to let you know.”
