The pair could be judges on a contest hosted by Jonathan Ross

We're loving Michelle Visage on CBB, so this is some very welcome news...

According to Attitude magazine, chat show host Jonathan Ross has bought the rights to a UK version of RuPaul's Drag Race - the reality show on which Michelle is a judge.

Sources say that a deal has been signed with Channel 5 to air a 14-part series starting this Autumn.

The UK version of the hit reality show would see Jonathan Ross host the programme, and have RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Paul O'Grady and drag queen Jodie Harsh as judges.

Jonathan told Attitude magazine earlier this year: "I've been working with Jodie [Harsh] on a UK version [of the show]… Unfortunately we have had to take a break because of some family issues. But we're hoping to pick it up again in the near future."

RuPaul himself has also voiced his support for a UK show, telling Michelle last year: "Let's do it! I'm ready for it".

This could also further explain Michelle's appearance in the Celebrity Big Brother house. If Channel 5 is launching the show later this year, they're likely to get hit ratings with judges who are better known.
