I Kissed a Girl is a British dating game show on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, which began on 5 May 2024 and is the first British dating show to feature exclusively lesbian and bisexual women.[1] It is a spin-off of the dating show, I Kissed a Boy and is hosted by Dannii Minogue and narrated by Charley Marlowe.[2]

Production

I Kissed a Girl was announced on 4 June 2023, prior to the airing of the final episode of I Kissed a Boy. Dannii Minogue was confirmed as the host.[3]

Format

The series follows ten single sapphic women who are matched up and meet for the first time "...with a kiss. No small talk. No swiping on the apps. Just one kiss that could be the start of many". Like I Kissed a Boy, the show is set in an Italian country house called the "Masseria". Prior to the show the contestants are matched, based on what they're looking for in a partner. After meeting their match for the first time with a kiss, the women are encouraged to get to know their new partners and try out their relationship.[4]

The original contestants on I Kissed a Girl were announced on 23 April 2024.[5] [6] [7]
