Fan-favourite hunk Guillermo Flores is returning to the Spanish edition of the show once again, but this time, there's a twist.

Drag Race España has just announced its Season 4 cast, with a familiar (some may say unforgettable) face among the lineup! Megui Yeillow will be known to viewers as Guillermo Flores, a former Pit Crew member who this year returns to the show as a fierce contestant.

The heartthrob has appeared on every season of Drag Race España thus far, including the All Stars edition, and quickly became a fan favourite. While as a scantily-clad Pit Crew member, Guillermo was tasked with aiding queens as they took on challenges, they won’t be so lucky this time around. Instead of helping the contestants in their quest for glory, the 31-year-old will be battling it out to snatch the crown for herself.

According to the performer’s official bio, she is a “dancer, singer, and actress” who “describes herself as the queen of lip syncs and the dance floor”.

“She is ready to become the next Spanish Drag Superstar because she is ‘a complete performer: from feet to tits.’,” it continues.

In her meet-the-queens profile, Megui adds that she’s the “muscular queen of the season”, with strengths in “doing bench presses, squats and abdominals”.

She will be joined by 11 other contestants in the upcoming episodes, namely: Angelita la Perversa, Chloe Vittu, Dita Dubois, Kelly Passa?!, La Niña Delantro, Le Cocó, Mariana Stars, Miss Khristo, Porca Theclubkid, Shani LaSanta and Vampirashian. They will each aim to impress the esteemed panel of judges, consisting of legendary host Supremme de Luxe alongside Ana Locking, Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo.

This marks the first time in Drag Race herstory that a Pit Crew member has joined the cast as a performer, and audiences are already buzzing with excitement to see how the story unfolds.
