Aussie pop icon and former The X Factor judge Dannii Minogue is back with a brand new series of the dating show – I Kissed a Boy.
Expect a whole new bunch of boys looking for love and fun in a romantic Italian Masseria.
Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams provides voiceover for the show and will narrate all the frolics and flirting as usual.
The premise sees ten singles who are matched up and meet for the first time with a kiss, but will it lead to lasting love?
Dannii said: “I am so excited that I’ll be back in Italy to play cupid. I can’t wait to meet the next cast when the Masseria doors open.
“There are so many diverse and important stories yet to tell. And be sure that I’ll have the party started for a wonderful summer of love”.
So without further delay – lets delve in to our fresh batch of singles.

“How can I even explain Dannii? Icon. She’s a beacon of light, who made me feel so safe, seen and celebrated.”
Aron aged 27 from Croydon.

“I’m beyond proud to be a part of I Kissed a Boy. The show is quite literally history in the making.
“The experiences of queer people aren’t a monolith, and this show peels the layer to show the ways, and celebrate, our unique differences while also recognising the thing that unites us, our queerness.”
Jack D aged 26 from Glasgow.

“Expect the unexpected is all I can say. Things changed by the hour in the messy massy, so you’ll be seeing a lot of drama.
“Expect a lot of important conversations as well. But mainly, expect to see a group of queer guys having a verrrryyy gay old time and having a laugh!”
Jack S aged 22 from Wigan.

“As cliched as it sounds, what I love the most about I Kissed a Boy is the friendships I’ve made.
“I’ve got proper cool queer mates now who I wouldn’t change for the world. I won.”
Jas aged 27 from Glasgow.

“I Kissed a Boy is so much more than just kisses and I’m glad to have shared my story on such an amazing platform. Representation is and always will be important.”
Jordan B aged 25 from The Lake District.

“One thing that’s always guaranteed with Dannii is that she will serve you a look to start, a twist for main, but love for dessert.
“Dannii was like a fairy godmother that helped us all try to find love on a path that’s anything but straight. She’s an icon and I love her.”
Jordon R aged 27 from Leeds.

“I Kissed a Boy is not just a dating show. It’s where topics are discussed and addressed and represented by people who have lived through different challenges within their queer lives.”
Lars aged 23 from Wolverhampton.

“I Kissed a Boy isn’t just the fun reality TV show that we all know and love – it is a celebration of queer love in all its forms. And I am honestly so proud to be the first trans person on the show.
“Growing up, I never saw stories like mine reflected on screen, so to be a part of something that embraces and normalises LGBTQ+ relationships means the absolute world to me. It’s messy, it’s joyful, it’s real and it is exactly the kind of representation we need.”
Rory aged 22 from Galway, Ireland.

“Being so self-critical and ashamed of my sexuality as a teenager in Ireland, going onto I Kissed a Boy was such a full-circle moment for me and my emotional development, and I got to do it alongside a bunch of hotties! J’adore.”
Ruben aged 24 from London.

“What I loved most about my time in the masseria is that the world is built for straight people, but I got to live in a world built for gay people!
“Experiencing gay fantasy land where you can feel safe and comfortable to express yourself in any way you want is something I would recommend to any member of the alphabet army.”
