Let's not forget that Norton actually appeared on the original version of All Stars season two back in 2016.
He said he has been a fan of the show forever; "Becoming part of the Drag Race family makes me ridiculously happy! I can't wait to see what the UK drag queens bring to the party, but they better werk!"
In the video announcement on Twitter today, Graham joked "maybe this is what the UK's good at."
For the Drag Race UK grand finale, both Norton and Carr will appear on the judging panel.
Alan Carr met Ru-Paul when he appeared on his chat show Alan Carr's Chatty Man but has been a fan for years of the pop culture phenomenon.
"Wow! To be sat next to Michelle Visage and Mama Ru as a guest judge on possibly one of my all-time favourite shows EVER is a dream come true," he said.
"I can't wait to see what the UK Queens have got in store – it's going to be sickening! *does death drop*"
The Emmy award-winning show will be coming to BBC Three this year, it was announced in December.
