Who will be getting a makeover in Queer Eye season 5?

Meet the ten people whose lives will be transformed this series:

Jennifer Sweeney: In 'Silver Lining Sweeney' we meet a mum who thought she had the perfect life..."but nothing is perfect." She is now a full time carer for her husband, John. Her three daughters really want her to make time for herself and have asked the Fab Five to encourage their mum to prioritise her own wellbeing.

Noah Hepler: In 'Preaching Out Loud' we meet the 44-year old pastor struggling to fully embrace his life as a gay man. He spent years wrestling with his sexuality, even marrying a woman, but since moving to Philadelphia he feels he is ready to start dating... he just isn't sure how.

Lily Yi: In 'Paging Dr Yi' we meet a medical student, wife and mum, who says she always feels inadequate trying to juggle the different elements of her work and personal life.

Nate McIntyre: In 'Body Rock or Bust' we meet a personal trainer and gym owner, who has found himself living in his gym. He's so focussed on keeping his community fit and healthy that he has forgotten to look after himself.

Rahanna Gray: In 'Groomer Has It' we meet the dog groomer who prefers her four legged friends to people. Unfortunately business isn't great at the moment, and as a tall lady she's struggling to find clothes to wear too.

Kevin Abernethy: 'Father of the Bride' focusses on a 53-year old man who has struggled to get his life together since his divorce. His daughter is about to get married and she wants him to walk her down the aisle with confidence. But Kevin has recently lost his job and life isn't straight forward...

Tyreek Wanamaker: In 'The North Philadelphia Story' we meet the co-founder of community organisation 'The Block Gives Back' Tyreek's life has been tough - he lost one brother to gun violence, while his other brother is in prison serving a life sentence. Now he finally has a job and a place to live - but can the Fab Five give him his self-esteem back?

Abby Leady: In 'The Anxious Advocate' we meet a 19 year old so passionate about stopping climate change that she has devoted her life to it, taking a gap year to protest with the Sunrise Movement. Abby's mum is worried she's not looking after herself and the Fab Five try to prove there's time for self-care AND saving the world.

Ryan Dyer: In 'DJs on Repeat', we see Ryan enjoying the spotlight when he's doing a DJ set in New Jersey, but losing his confidence the moment the music stops.

Marco Tlacopilco: In 'Father Knows Fish' we meet the fish market owner who has worked his whole life to make a success of his business, after leaving Mexico 20 years ago. The Fab Five are there to smarten up his appearance, but to also help him heal his relationship with his oldest daughter.

Is there a trailer for Queer Eye season 5?

Yep! Netflix has dropped a sneak peek of new episodes – which teases the powerful transformation of a clergyman.

"I have struggled with my identity as a gay person," the white-collar christian says. "I feel like I can't be the kind of leader in the church that I could be."

Not only do the Fab Five look set to fix up his fashion, but they'll enlist the help of LGTBQ+ activists to help the priest come to terms with his past.

Alongside the trailer, Netflix also released plenty of first-look pics, revealing some of the seasons' heroes.
