Hide AdIn this week's Drag Race UK instalment, RuPaul laid out a design challenge for the 10 queens with a pet shop couture twist where they indulged the animal within on the runaway.
Joining RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Graham Norton on the judging panel this week were two special guests — British Vogue editor Edward Enninful to offer fashion tips in the Werk Room and Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney on the panel.
Banksie ultimately won the RuPeter Badge for the week, while Alexis and Miss Naomi ended up in lipsyncing to 'Hot In It' by Charli XCX and Tiësto.
In a high-energy lip sync, Alexis seemed to struggle with her shoe at one point and even though she rallied back with an impressive death drop, she was told she'd have to sashay away.

"I'm so glad to be here in my new homeland, and I hope to come back better than ever."
Next week, the queens will be challenged to write and perform a '90s-themed girl group track while pop queen Sophie Ellis-Bextor guest judges.
Miss Naomi describes her drag act as a mix of “beauty and fashion” and describes herself as “sassy, gobby and Northern.”
