RuPaul’s Drag Race UK was blessed with the appearance of (fictional) royalty last night as Game of ThronesMaisie Williams popped by for a stint as this week’s guest judge.

Lady Stark herself oversaw a week where the remaining queens competed in both a Downtown Abbey-esque acting challenge and a runway challenge with a Bond Girl twist.

After the episodes, fans took to social media to share their positive reactions to Maisie on the panel.

Maisie appeared to exuberant and joyful last night on the show – like she was loving every second of being there.

Her bright pink hair was also a serious fashion statement, and a reminder to everyone that her days in Westeros as battle-hardened Arya are over.

Some eagle-eyed fans, however, had spotted that in a promo pic for the new episode, Maisie had committed an actual Drag Race no-no and stood on Ru’s dress. The shade!

At least she took it well, though.

Will she be invited back for series two after this major faux-pas?

Also joining the former (fictional) assassin on the panel were Drag Race stalwarts RuPaul and Michelle Visage. Alan Carr wasn’t here this week – but fellow presenter Graham Norton replaced him, as the two will alternate appearances on the show week-in-week-out (a la Ross Matthews and Carson Kressley on the US version).

A second queen also left the show last night – after the contestants in the bottom two lip-synced for their lives to the truly iconic Venus by Bananarama.

In preparation for week three, and to calculate whose one step closer to taking the crown, here’s our ranking of this week’s queens – from the tops to the bottoms.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK episodes 1 and 2 are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
