BBC Announce Stars of New Gay Dating Show

The ten contestants starring in the United Kingdom’s first ever gay dating show, I Kissed A Boy, have been revealed. The single participants will all enter into an Italian masseria with the intention of leaving with a romantic partner.

With singer and actress Dannii Minogue as the matchmaker, the series will open with a kissing-based episode and promises lots of “dating drama”, debuting on BBC Three in mid-May.

Gay Times have provided the list of ten men looking for love later this Spring, along with short descriptions detailing who they are and what they're looking to get out of this experience.

Ben (28, London)

“Ben grew up in Edinburgh and has been living in London for the past four years. Describing his personality, Ben says he’s a cross between “the goofiness of Goofy and the grumpiness of Shrek. He didn’t meet many gay people on his course and because of that he says he didn’t get much of a chance to explore gay culture during his university years.

“Since moving to London Ben is much happier as he’s been able to make more gay friends and enjoy nights out on the scene. Ben is a confident guy but admits that he’s not great at receiving compliments. He’s a bit of an old school romantic when it comes to dinners out and flowers. ‘People never think that about me but it’s true.’”

Bobski (23, Essex)

“Born in Poland, he moved to the UK with his mum when he was 7. Settling into school in Essex was hard at first and with knowing little English, Bobski had to learn to fit in quickly. Now he jokes that with his thick accent he’s as Essex as you can get!”
