One of the more fun programmes on UK terrestrial TV right now is the reality show Glow Up, in which would-be professional make-up artists compete against each other.
Every week a different guest celebrity make-up artist joins the show to critique the work of the contestants. This week, Episode 5, the show was graced by the appearance of Korean-American drag artist Shin Sang-young, aka Kim Chi. You can catch the episode on BBC iPlayer.
