‘You can tell she didn’t want to be on the show!’ Gemma Collins leaves Drag Race UK fans feeling underwhelmed after her ‘lifeless’ appearance on the Snatch Game
Gemma Collins left Drag Race UK fans feeling underwhelmed after her appearance on the show’s latest episode on Thursday.
The former TOWIE star, 40, was a guest judge alongside Michelle Visage on the Snatch Game, a fake game show where the competing drag queens impersonate celebrities and answer fill-in-the-blank questions.
Despite many fans being excited to see her, some viewers claimed the GC seemed ‘lifeless’, ‘bored’ and ‘scripted’ while others questioned whether she was ‘forced’ to be on the show as she clearly ‘didn’t want to be there’.

During the Snatch Game, Gemma made several amusing sexual innuendos, albeit with a deadpan expression, that certainly made RuPaul laugh.
One such joke saw RuPaul ask Gemma if she’d eaten any spotted dick lately, to which she cheekily replied she’d had some ‘last night’ with ‘lots of custard’.
In another part of the game show Gemma suggested the word ‘swallow’ when asked to fill-in-the-blank about what a person had to do with a battered sausage to get another for free at a Fish and Chips shop owned by Michelle.
Gemma even took the chance to explain some cheeky British slang to RuPaul, including ‘toss off’ and ‘b**l e*d’.
