BBC Three alternates between I Kissed a Boy and I Kissed a Girl yearly, with the series holding the title of being the first queer dating show in the UK. With the reunion for I Kissed a Boy series two airing this week, the girls are set for 2026.
Smoggie Queens creator Phil Dunning will also star as Dickie, an unpredictable young performer handling life, love and Middlesbrough patriotism alongside Mam the drag queen (Mark Benton, Shakespeare & Hathaway), Lucinda (Alexandra Mardell, Coronation Street), Sal (Patsy Lowe) and Stewart (Elijah Young).
Longtime gay ally and Australian pop princess Dannii Minogue is back for a second series of I Kissed a Boy, and the third in the franchise. As the UK’s first ever LGBTQIA+ dating show I Kissed a… has seen huge success, providing a healthy mix of drama, heartfelt conversations, and LGBTQIA+ education.
The I Kissed… series debuted last year, making headlines for its steamy shower scenes, introducing the UK to the word ‘Masseria’ (Italian for farmhouse), and plenty of – as the title suggests – kissing.
Bad Education’s Layton Williams has passed his role as the show’s narrator to TikTok celesbian Charley Marlowe. The Liverpudlian social media star has made a name for herself through her exuberant comedic interviewing style.
As well as organising the wedding, Allen will look back on the years spent fighting for marriage rights, and his own years growing up gay. He will meet the LGBTQIA+ activists who made equal marriage possible and reflect on how far gay rights have come over the last decade.
In pursuit of the most spectacular wedding, the couple will be introduced to Allen’s famous friends who will help out with everything from the entertainment to the wedding outfits.
