RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Michael Marouli is guest starring in new British rom-com series The Road Trip, which is available now on Paramount+.

Based on the best-selling book by Beth O’Leary, The Road Trip centres on Addie, who sets off from Bristol on an epic road trip to a wedding in Spain with her sister Deb.

However, Addie barely makes it out of the city when her campervan is rear-ended by a speeding Porsche driven her ex-Dylan and his best friend Marcus.

The official synopsis continues: “Addie and Dylan haven’t spoken since their messy breakup but – headed to the same wedding and with best man Dylan’s ride totalled – Addie agrees to put their differences aside and travel together.

“A thousand miles is a long time to be stuck in a campervan with so much buried history though, especially when you’re on your way back to the exact place you first fell in love.

“The mystery of Addie and Dylan’s breakup looms large. What really did happen? Why have they had no contact? Who, if anyone, was to blame? It’s going to be a bumpy ride…”

Marouli, who made it to the final of Drag Race UK season five, makes a guest appearance in the show’s fifth episode, interacting with Addie, who interrupts the event and drunkenly heckles the various singers on stage.

Marouli’s guest appearance has been celebrated by fans and Drag Race peers, including UK season one star Divina de Campo.

“This is great, but let’s all be real. Do not try to take a mic out of a drag queens hand. It will not end well,“ she commented on Instagram.

During season five of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Marouli was part of Fierce Force Five with Cara MelleDeDeLiciousTomara Thomas, and Vicki Vivacious and impersonated Catherine Tate for the Snatch Game challenge. She was the runner-up to Ginger Johnson.
