When the BBC launched the UK's first gay dating show last year ("I Kissed a Boy" season 1) the response was so incredible that an equally well-received all-girl format followed and now, with some inevitability, "I Kissed a Boy" season 2 has been officially confirmed.
Just in case you've been on Mars, "IKAB" takes 10 single men who are then matched up and go in for a kiss before they know anything at all about the other one. They have no idea about the likes/dislikes/loves/hates on the other end of their lips. It is a chemistry test with a difference. Will it be a peck or a snog? Most importantly, will it actually lead to love?
Host Dannii Minogue says, "I can’t wait to meet the next cast when the Masseria doors open... There are so many diverse and important stories yet to tell. And be sure that I’ll have the party started for a wonderful summer of love." Season 2 of "I Kissed a Boy" will be voiced by Layton Williams.
