I kissed a boy is a British dating game show on BBC iPlayer in which series 1 aired in may 2023. It is the first British dating show to feature exclusively gay men. It is hosted by Dannii Minogue and narrated by Layton Williams. Gorgeous contestant Ollie King seemed to have that je ne sais quoi that captured our hearts especially in the LGBTQIA+ community. Ollie really struck me with his intelligence and passion for educating us on why this show is so significant in our community and for the world. I loved the show so much and I always wanted a gay love island to happen and this is the closest thing we have had to it. So join us in pouring yourself a joyful glass of Kylie Minogue wine and en-JOY the power of JOY with Ollie King. @Olliebking @ItsAdamLyons
