This summer, BBC Three are taking us to a brand new Italian Masseria for the first season of I Kissed a Girl!

Dannii Minogue is back playing Cupid and will watch along to the 10 singles who enter the show as they are matched up with one another, all with the hopes of finding their dream person. And Minogue isn’t the only one watching what goes down in the Masseria.

Along with a new series comes a new narrator and helming the voice over this time round is TikTok star Charley Marlowe. The comedic social media personality will be giving viewers much needed laughs as the events of I Kissed a Girl play out on screen.

But who is Charley Marlowe? With the reality series now airing, here’s everything you need to know about the new narrator.

Who is Charley Marlowe?

Charley Marlowe is a comedian and presenter, best known for her viral and hilarious videos on TikTok, from which she rose to prominence.

Her videos range from POVs, Days in the Life and comedy skits, which have gained hundreds of thousands of views.

She also has a hand at interviewing, having recently interviewed Sebastian Croft and Charithra Chandran.

Charley will be the new narrator for I Kissed a Girl, with Layton Williams stepping back from narrating duties as he felt it would be more appropriate for a queer woman to narrate the series.

Charley had “the most incredible time” narrating I Kissed a Girl, admitting it has been a “dream job”.

Speaking of voicing the series, Charley said: “Not only getting to voice over a show, which is something I’ve never done before, but the show being the queerest thing I’ve ever seem… double whammy!

“We would record a couple of episodes at a time so I was drip fed the drama, and each week I was absolutely gasping for the next one, the cliff hangers are brilliant. If I’m honest it still hasn’t sunken in that so many people are going to hear my voice… even though it’s nothing different to what I already do, really!”

Teasing what viewers can expect, Charley revealed that there is going to be drama! “As much as we love it when everyone gets along, and argument is always going to hook us in,” she said.

“Which is exactly what this series does. Shock revelations, mass amounts of snogging (which made me realise I’m more of a prude than I thought) and lesbians being lesbians. It’s got it all!!”
