BBC Three has announced I Kissed A Girl, the second series following the UK’s first gay dating show, I Kissed A Boy.
Following the groundbreaking launch of the first-of-its-kind show in the UK, I Kissed A Boy captured the hearts of audiences up and down the country. Now, Dannii Minogue is back to play Cupid - and this time, she's swooping in to help girls who like girls.
In the ten-part series, 10 single girls are matched up and meet for the first time with a kiss - no chat and no messages - to test their chemistry straight away.

Before they arrive, the girls are matched up based on what they're looking for in a partner. After meeting their match for the first time with a kiss, they're encouraged to give their new relationship a good shot. However, the girls must ultimately do what's right for them, because everyone is a possibility in the game.
Dannii Minogue 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."
I Kissed A Girl promises to “serve drama, smash stereotypes, and more twists and turns than ever”.
Louise Hutchinson, head of entertainment at Twofour, said: "It was a privilege and a pleasure to meet season one's charismatic cast of boys and I'm delighted that we have the opportunity to pass the baton to girls this time.
"I can't wait to see how they bring their own unique energy to the series while flying the flag for the LGBTQ+ community. We couldn't be more proud to be sharing their stories."
Casting is now open for the series with applicants being able to apply through an online application form. Meanwhile, I Kissed A Boy is available on BBC iPlayer now and the special one-off reunion show lands on the streaming platform on Sunday, June 11.
The announcement of I Kissed A Girl was much to the delight of fans.
