Growing up in Coatbridge, Dan Harry was bullied for being gay but now, his inbox is inundated with messages of support and admiration.
The 27-year-old is one of ten men looking for love in an Italian Masseria on 'I Kissed A Boy' - the UK's first gay male dating show - that is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
The show - hosted by Dannii Minogue - sees the contestants enter the Masseria in pairs and start their journey with a kiss. Over the next eight episodes, there are a series of Kiss-Offs where each pair will decide whether to stay in their current partnership or save their kiss for another boy.
