After four seasons of love, laughter, and a whole lot of drama, the BBC has officially announced that I Kissed a Girl will be concluding its journey. The second season promises to be a whirlwind of romance, featuring ten single women entering the stunning Italian Masseria in search of their perfect match. Talk about a romantic getaway!

But before you get too excited, let’s not forget the bittersweet news: the BBC has decided to end the franchise due to funding challenges. In a statement, they expressed their disappointment, saying, “there are no current plans for the show to return.” Cue the collective gasp from fans everywhere.
Returning to host this final season is none other than the fabulous Dannii Minogue, who has been a beloved figure in the series since its inception. She took to social media to share her feelings about the cancellation, and we can only imagine the emotional rollercoaster she’s been on. After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of a show that has made history as the BBC’s first gay dating program?

The series kicked off with I Kissed a Boy in 2023, paving the way for the incredible stories of love and connection that followed. Now, as we gear up for this final season, we can’t help but wonder who will find their happily ever after in the Italian sun. The cast includes:
- Imogen, 21, Manchester
- Renee, 25, North London
- Lindsey, 25, Buckinghamshire
And let’s not forget the voice of the show, Charley Marlowe, who will be returning as the narrator and making a special appearance in Italy. Her heartfelt sentiments about the series being axed echo the feelings of many fans, as she expressed her sadness and disappointment.

So mark your calendars, because June 23 is the day we say goodbye to I Kissed a Girl. Tune in to BBC Three at 9 PM or catch it on BBC iPlayer to witness the final chapter of this iconic series. Will love blossom in the Masseria? Or will it be a summer of heartbreak? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: this is one finale you won’t want to miss!
