Fans of Taylor's competition The Gold Rush, will recognise the pageant format from the semi-final challenge ‘The Blue Ribband Babe’ - but this time there is a twist! Competing in 4 categories across the night the performers must showcase:
- A Talent show - the contestants will share a talent with the audience (usually this is a performance)
- Creative Swimwear - the contestants will put a creative spin on the old pageant favourite
- Best Drag - the most over the top, executed to perfection version of themselves
- LIVE Q&A - can our contestants think on their feet? Or will they fall over their words? Will we ever get world peace?
Alongside Taylor will be a panel of esteemed judges from the Gold Rush. Watch our instagram channel @thegoldrushldn for announcements of who you will need to start bribing. 12 applicants will be selected and put through to the live show where they will stand the chance to bag themselves the grand prize!
