The spin-off to the hugely popular I Kissed a Boy<\/a>, this new series will see 10 singles matched up and meet for the first time with a kiss. That\u2019s right, as the two contestants meets each other they will have to seal their pairing with a kiss to kick off their journey.<\/p>\n

Viewers can expect gripping love stories, a brand new Masseria and jaw-dropping drama, and only time will tell if it all ends in love.<\/p>\n

But who are the 10 singles hoping to find their perfect match? As the show kicks off on BBC iPlayer<\/a>, here\u2019s everything you need to know about the cast of I Kissed a Girl.<\/p>\n

Age:\u00a0<\/strong>24<\/p>\n

From:\u00a0<\/strong>Brighton<\/p>\n

Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Make-up artist and hair stylist<\/p>\n

Abbie is looking to find a girlfriend who will treat her like a princess and jokes that she would love to be a WAG one day.<\/p>\n

Growing up, Abbie came out to her family when she was 12 years old, and it was a grandad who was her biggest ally and supporter.<\/p>\n

Speaking of her time on the show, Abbie said she loved how \u201ccomfortable\u201d she felt around the girls, and that she allowed herself \u201cto be vulnerable in conversations around sexuality\u201d.<\/p>\n

Amy<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"I\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>
Amy on I Kissed a Girl.<\/span><\/figcaption> BBC\/Two Four<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Age:\u00a0<\/strong>24<\/p>\n

From:\u00a0<\/strong>Surrey, living in London<\/p>\n

Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Social media manager<\/p>\n

Funny and flamboyant, Amy has been single for three years and is beginning to feel like she has been \u201cleft on the shelf\u201d. A hopeless romantic, Amy wants to find a \u201cprincess\u201d in the Masseria that she hopes she can take home and live happily ever after with.<\/p>\n

Amy had feelings about her sexuality at 13 years old, but didn\u2019t find the confidence to come out to her family until she was 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can only imagine the sense of validation and belonging that me and my sisters would have felt had we had this kind of representation on our telling growing up,\u201d Amy said.<\/p>\n

Cara<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"I\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>

From:\u00a0<\/strong>Ballycastle, Northern Ireland<\/p>\n

Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Support worker \/ Aesthetics<\/p>\n

Cara admits that she has her walls her up when it comes to relationships and is hoping that I Kissed a Girl will help her let her guard down.<\/p>\n

Known of her sense of humour and sense of humour, there is never a dull moment with Cara around, and the 25-year-old is proud of people knowing where she has come from in life.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing from a small town in Northern Ireland, the rare chance to be in an environment exclusively full of queer women was an opportunity of a lifetime,\u201d she said of her time on the series.<\/p>\n

Demi<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"I\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>

Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Publishing executive<\/p>\n

A self-professed \u201clover girl\u201d, Demi tends to gravitate towards people and pays attention to their \u201cvibes\u201d rather than looks.<\/p>\n

Demi lives with her family in Hemel Hempstead and coming out had its challenges. The 23-year-old is very close with her mother but her father is very traditional and she says he found it difficult to accept.<\/p>\n

Speaking of her time on the show, Demi said she was able to be \u201cone hundred per cent unapologetically\u201d herself and was bale to experience \u201cbeing part of a close-knit queer community\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chef by day and drummer by night, Fiorenza is a real \u201csoftie\u201d and admits that she falls fast and loves hard. She is hoping to find her perfect match in the Masseria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very proud to be a part of the show, especially the first season for the girls,\u201d Fiorenza said. \u201cIt should have existed years ago. We need more representation for lesbian relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Georgia<\/strong><\/h2>\n
