Who is Anubis?
Anubis, formerly known on the drag scene as Anubis Finch, describes herself as "campy and wacky" which is the perfect combination of things to be if you're signing up for Drag Race UK.
And as for where she got that name from, there is a touching and sweet reason for it with Anubis saying: "I chose the name Anubis because I wanted something that referenced my Egyptian heritage. My dad was Egyptian and when he passed away about three years ago, I wanted a name that paid homage to him – Anubis is the Egyptian god of the afterlife. It’s my tribute to him."
What has Anubis said about joining RuPaul's Drag Race UK?
Anubis has been talking to Gay Times and she has revealed some juicy details about the new season by indicating that there will be more twists in the show than ever before – music to our ears.
And she is not afraid to admit to having some nerves about joining, saying: “It was the most scary, horrible thing of my life, but I don’t regret it for a thing and I wouldn’t change it. Know what I mean? You’re in that room with 11 other incredible performers who can all do things you can’t. You’ve also got to remember that you can do things they all can’t, so it’s a two-way street. That feeling is just absolutely insane. It’s better than sex and not many things are."

Series three will arrive on Thursday, 23rd September at 7pm on BBC iPlayer, with new episodes will be released weekly after its premiere.
