When did I Kissed A Girl start?
Bosses confirmed the show would begin on Sunday 5th May, with episodes airing Sundays and Mondays.
Who hosts the show?
The lovely Dannii Minogue hosts the show.
Speaking about why the show is so special, she said: "The girls and their genuine search for love, with inhibitions left at home, we watch it all unfold in the sun-soaked romantic Italian landscape. In my role as ‘cupid' I always hope that an attraction sparks with such intensity that it leads to a lasting relationship - but my lips are sealed as to whether that happens this series.
"One thing I can tell you is that it was the ultimate lesbian summer holiday that the girls loved so much - I got the feeling they didn’t want it to end. I am so so proud of these girls and can't wait for viewers to discover this groundbreaking and hugely entertaining series."
When was I Kissed A Girl announced?
After teasing the spin-off series for a number of weeks, bosses confirmed the news on Monday 5th June in 2023, writing on Instagram: 'Here come the girls! 🏳️🌈 #IKissedAGirl is coming to @bbcthree. 💋'. (sic)
What happens on I Kissed A Girl?
The 10-part series sees single girls matched up and meet for the first time to share a kiss, following the same format as I Kissed A Boy.
Speaking about the new series, Dannii said: “After showing love truly is for everyone with I Kissed A Boy, I am thrilled to have the chance to be Cupid again for girls in this second series.
“I’m so excited to see if we can find more connections, chemistry and hopefully love sealed with a kiss - here come the girls.”
Although the show follows the same format, host Danni has confessed it feels brand new, saying: "Although this is the same format, it feels brand new. The girls bring such a different energy and I feel stories of girls-who-like-girls have been sadly missing from so much of what we see on TV. While the girls open up to possible love, I think so many viewers will be both educated and entertained.
"As each day developed, it sparked a lot of heartfelt conversation on and off the set. With lots of queer females on the crew, it created an incredible environment that supported the cast and was a joy to be a part of."
What channel is it on?
I Kissed A Girl airs on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
Who is the voice-over?
Comedian, presenter and TikTok star Charley Marlowe provided the voiceover for I Kissed A Girl.
