Queer Eye stars actually crowned Yass queens
- Published
The Queer Eye stars have found their spiritual home - in a small Australian town called Yass in New South Wales.
The saying "yaass" is a favourite of the Fab Five, which is made up of Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Karamo Brown and Bobby Berk.
The town's name is believed to be derived from the Aboriginal word "yharr" - meaning "running water", according to the town's website.
In the show, five gay men give a range of people a full makeover.
After a hugely successful first series, they've been in Australia promoting series two of the Netflix show.
And they found the perfect place to do it. Yass queen.
