Dannii Minogue says she ‘identifies as queer’ as she gears up to host gay dating show

· Dannii Minogue has made a surprise admission about her sexuality as she prepares to host the new UK dating show for women, I Kissed A Girl.

· After hosting the award-winning BBC series I Kissed A Boy last year, which was the first ever British dating show to feature gay men exclusively, the Aussie singer and actress will now front the female version – and it’s about time, she says.

· Minogue said in a promo – “This is so important. There hasn’t been a show for the girls in the reality gay dating world,”.

· In a teaser for the first episode, Minogue addresses her sexuality after the girls made it clear they fancy the Australian star and wasted no time asking her is she fancies women.

· One contestant named Amy, from Surrey, even straight up admitted that Minogue was “just their type”.

· Minogue said – “I identify as queer in a weird way, you girls are hot. You know it. I love it. I’m here for it. Is that an answer?”

· The Aussie star has been dating her longtime boyfriend, music producer Adrian Newman, since at least 2014. She previously dated Aussie-based English model Kris Smith, who is the father of her son Ethan, 13.

· I Kissed A Girl sees 10 single women aged between 22 and 28 enter a luxury Italian where they will share a kiss with another contestant by the pool straight away, without even speaking one word to each other.
