It will then make its debut on BBC Three the following day, Sunday, at 9pm.

Australian singer Dannii, 51, along with a professional matching team will be on hand to ease the boys through the dates.

I Kissed a Boy will be narrated by Bad Education star Layton Williams who described the show as "unapologetically gay and the first one of its kind in the UK".

The hopeful singles will be paired with their ‘strongest match’ and they then kiss on meeting.

However, over eight episodes, they’ll be tested and viewers will witness whose eyes may wander. 

Speaking about her latest TV venture, Dannii previously said: “It’s something I want to do with a lot of heart and soul and do it proud and do it well.

“The whole country, whether you’re trying to go out on a date now or you’ve been on dating apps, there are so many people who are lonely, who are looking for love. So hopefully we’ll make some beautiful guys very happy.”

The Sun previously unveiled the boys taking part in the new show.
