The first lesbian dating show in the UK is officially here, and it’s about time! Following the launch of I Kissed a Boy last year, ten women will now have the chance to find love in a remote Italian villa. Keep reading to learn how to watch I Kissed a Girl in the US so you don’t miss another second of the new dating show.
I Kissed a Girl is a dating competition on BBC Three that highlights queer, bisexual and lesbian women. In the series, ten women (introduced with a kiss) will date one another while living in an Italian villa. While they build deeper connections, new arrivals will be introduced throughout the show, which will spice things up for the singles. The show comes after the success of last summer’s I Kissed a Boy, the first British dating show to exclusively feature gay men.
One of the contestants, Priya, told the BBC that she’s proud “to represent queer South Asian girls in Wales.” The 23-year-old from Newport only recently came out to her family. “I was definitely nervous about telling my dad because he’s an old Punjabi man,” she explained. So far, Priya has said that she’s received positive feedback. “I’ve had messages from South Asian queer women saying thank you for representing South Asians, because in our community, it’s taboo to talk about being in a relationship, let alone being gay,” she added.
Demi, who comes from a Nigerian background, said that despite facing difficulties with her dad after coming out, her mom, sister and new friends have become her support network. “Growing up, I found it quite difficult,” she explained to the BBC. “If we had that [I Kissed a Girl] growing up, that would have been such an amazing thing to see.”

Who is the host of I Kissed a Girl?
Who is the 2024 host of I Kissed a Girl? Dannii Minogue is the host of I Kissed a Girl, the UK’s first dating show for girls, after hosting I Kissed a Boy in 2023.
“We are so excited to be back and to share the stories of these girls,” Minogue told the BBC. “They are open and honest in their search for love, funny and surprising, so get ready for a whole rollercoaster of emotions. I genuinely laughed and cried watching all the antics in the Masseria.”
Who is the voice of I Kissed a Girl?
The voice of the UK’s dating show I Kissed a Girl is TikTok star and comedian Charley Marlowe. The Liverpool native identifies with the LGBTQ+ community and is known for her hilarious social media posts and down-to-earth personality. Marlowe told the BBC that this is a “dream job” for her.
“Of COURSE there’s gonna be drama!!!” the presenter also teased to the network. “As much as we love it when everyone gets along, an argument is always going to hook us in. Which is exactly what this series does. Shock revelations, mass amounts of snogging (which made me realise I’m more of a prude than I thought) and lesbians being lesbians. It’s got it all!!!”

Fiorenza enjoys her job as a chef during the day and a drummer for the band Uninvited at night. She is spending her summer on I Kissed a Girl to find her true match.
