There’s an Unexpected Connection Between Love Island and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK

In July, it was announced that Love Island's Curtis Pritchard — who was a dancer on the Irish version of Dancing With the Stars before entering the Love Island villa — and his brother AJ would be joining the show as dance coaches and choreographers. AJ is also well-known in the UK as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, and both men are excited to join the RuPaul's Drag Race team when the show airs on the BBC. This is the first time the brothers will be appearing on screen together with Curtis saying he jumps "at the chance of working with my brother anytime anything together comes up, so doing that and being asked to be part of something so iconic was a yes from me!".

It was also announced in the same press release that Brit and Grammy-award-winning songwriter, MNEK would be joining the RuPaul ranks as a vocal coach. MNEK was the recipient of the prestigious ASCAP Vanguard Music Award for song writing at the age of 21 and has just casually written for some of the music industry's biggest names like Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Little Mix, and Dua Lipa.
