Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022, BBC Three delayed the final two episodes in the United Kingdom until after the period of national mourning.

Background

Season 1 judges Michelle Visage and Rhys Nicholson were spotted in south Auckland, leading to speculation that both would be returning to judge season 2.
