When the BBC launched the UK's first gay dating show in May 2023 ("I Kissed a Boy" season 1) the response was so incredible that an equally well-received all-girl format in May 2024 and now, with some inevitability, "I Kissed a Boy" season 2 arrived on May 11, 2025.
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.. Our show is a celebration of love for the LGBTQIA+ community. I think it is a great example of how people can blossom when they feel safe and supported.." Season 2 of "I Kissed a Boy" will be voiced by Layton Williams.
