I Kissed a Boy, the first-ever gay dating show in the UK, is set to air, and it promises to be a thrilling ride for reality TV fans. The show will feature 10 contestants who are all queer men looking for love, and the host will be none other than Dannii Minogue.
The show follows the same format as popular reality TV shows like Love Island, with Minogue helping the men find love through a series of “Kiss-Offs.” Each pair will have to decide whether to continue their current partnership or save their kiss for another boy. With every participant as an option, there is sure to be plenty of drama.
In a trailer for the show, Minogue stressed the importance of having a show like I Kissed a Boy on television. She explained that the show is not about bodies, image, or TV time, but rather it’s about people who want to look someone in the eye and explore a relationship that could go somewhere.
The cast of I Kissed a Boy includes Ben, Bobski, Gareth, Jake, Joseph, Josh, Kailum, Ollie, Ross, and Subomi. These 10 contestants are entering the I Kissed a Boy villa looking to fall in love from their very first kiss. The show’s emphasis on queer men is important, given the lack of LGBTQ+ dating shows on television.
With such a groundbreaking premise, it’s no wonder that reality TV fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere of I Kissed a Boy. It’s a step forward for representation and a sign of progress for the LGBTQ+ community in the UK.
