Before they arrive, the guys will be paired up with their strongest match and as soon as they meet, they kiss.

Minogue, 50, said: “There are millions of people in the UK looking for love. And 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."

The star went on: "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 ‘Cupid’ - so this gives me that flutter-of-love feeling inside too, just to be a part of it."

"Let’s hope there is love, sealed with a kiss!” she added.

BBC Three controller Fiona Campbell said I Kissed A Boy was "a brilliant new show in the dating space that we think has huge potential for BBC Three".

"We hope our audience will love the heady mix of drama and heart-warming romance that we know the series will bring," she added.

Viewers welcomed the news, with many posting on Twitter about it.
