Executive producers are Louise Hutchinson, David Brindley and Dan Gray, with Francesca Kybert serving as production executive. Global distribution is being handled by ITV Studios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are millions of people in the U.K. looking for love,\u201d said Minogue. \u201cAnd I believe love is for everyone. So I am so thrilled for a gay dating show to be entering the sea of other dating shows that have existed on TV for years. I have been a staunch ally of the LGBTQ+ community for as long as I can remember. My close friends know that my dream job title would be \u2018Cupid,\u2019 so this gives me that flutter-of-love feeling inside too, just to be a part of it. Let\u2019s hope there is love, sealed with a kiss!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re thrilled to be bringing this exciting reality event to BBC Three and iPlayer and to shine a bright light on gay dating,\u201d said David Brindley, chief creative officer of Twofour. \u201cThis series will revel in telling stories we don&#8217;t always hear of, witness heartwarming new relationships blossom and celebrate inclusivity from start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Campbell, controller of BBC Three, added, \u201c<em>I Kissed a Boy<\/em> is a brilliant new show in the dating space that we think has huge potential for BBC Three.
