Andrew Garfield left RuPaul's Drag Race UK fans wanting to spend "a night in gay heaven" with him.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK is finally here and everyone is living for Andrew Garfield's guest judge appearance on the new show.
It's been a while. I know Ru shouldn't have kept us waiting... but it's here now and it slaps. After 11 gag-worthy seasons and four All Stars editions of the original RuPaul's Drag Race, the hit reality TV drag competition has crossed the pond and we're living for every single aspect of it. From the hilarious British slang (minge, anyone?) to the talented queens themselves (Sum Ting Wong was robbed), the first episode of the first season of Drag Race UK really gave the gays everything they wanted.

And it wasn't just the queens who delivered. Fans couldn't get enough of Andrew Garfield's stint as a guest judge.
Andrew Garfield may be best known for playing Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise but he's also a RuPaul's Drag Race superfan. When Andrew was playing the lead role of Prior in Angels in America at the National Theatre in London in 2017, he told Gay Times that he'd watched "every single series of RuPaul's Drag Race. I mean every series". Always a man of his word, Andrew proved that he wasn't lying in the first episode of Drag Race UK.
Not only did Andrew offer excellent and thoughtful feedback to the contestants, but he also added hilarious commentary to the show and fitted in seamlessly with Ru, Michelle Visage and Alan Carr. Naturally, his appearance on the show inspired a ton of memes, thirst tweets and calls to instate him as a full-time judge. With that in mind, we've gathered together a selection of the funniest ones.
