In December 2023, the BBC announced that RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World would return for a second series. Sinitta was announced to have been signed as a guest for the second series, with a source stating: "Sinitta is one of the most exciting signings in the show’s history. She’s a bona fide gay icon and loves outrageous outfits, so she's perfect for Drag Race". She appeared in the Snatch Game segment of the show alongside Jane McDonald.
