RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Jonbers Blonde has admitted that she'd love a "director's cut" of season 4 of the show so we could see some of the hilarity between this year's queens that didn't make it to air.
Speaking to Digital Spy in an exclusive interview alongside co-star Danny Beard, Jonbers told us: "I would love to see the director’s cut. I don’t mean 'blame it on the editor'. I mean that in the fact that this was a very funny season. It was a very, very funny season."
Jonbers admitted there were plenty of funny moments between the cast that we never got to see because this year's queens were quite a chatty bunch. "Let me tell you: there’s not one queen that doesn’t love to talk. Ru repeatedly had to say, 'Hour-long show, hour-long show,'" she revealed.

"There’s not one moment. There’s a plethora of moments that you don’t get to see. But that’s just the magic of Drag Race, and that’s what telly is. But just know that it was a joyous season to be on," Jonbers added.
Danny Beard seconded Jonbers' remarks, admitting there were a few memorable things that were missing from the final cut. "I remember watching some of the episodes back, and remembering a few of the things that Ru had said to us on the runway. I remember at the time, thinking, 'Oh, I wish that was in,'" she shared.

"And now looking back on it as a whole, I’m kind of glad those little personal things weren’t in it. That was a comment to me, to help me grow as an artist, and it wasn’t necessarily needed to be shared with the world.
"No, I’m quite happy the way it went – all the ups and all the downs. The camera doesn’t lie. You know what I mean?"
RuPaul's Drag Race UK airs on BBC Three in the UK and streams on WOW Presents Plus in the US.
