I Kissed a Girl is back for a brand new season, as 10 singles head to a sun-soaked Italian Masseria all hoping to find a connection and, as ever, it all starts with a kiss!
Dannii Minogue is back fronting proceedings as the show’s resident Cupid, with Charley Marlowe once again narrating the romance, recouplings and inevitable drama.
Unfortunately this marks the last outing of I Kissed a Girl, with the BBC confirming earlier this year that the dating series had been axed due to cost-cutting issues.
A spokesperson for the series said: “We are exceptionally proud of I Kissed a Boy/Girl, the UK\u2019s first dating show for the LGBTQ+ community.
“We would like to thank our fabulous Cupid Dannii Minogue and the entire team at Twofour for bringing the series to screen. Unfortunately, we have to make difficult choices in light of our funding challenges and there are no current plans for the show to return.”
So, who is headed into the Masseria for I Kissed a Girl season 2? Read on to find out more.
