'I Kissed a Boy' Host Dannii Minogue Lost Fans Due to Show's Gay Content

Singer and TV presenter Dannii Minogue opened up about losing a few fans for having "played Cupid" on the gay British dating show "I Kissed a Boy." "It really did make me laugh when I read the comments from people saying, 'I'm unfollowing you.' I just thought, well, that's bizarre," Minogue said in an interview, according to UK newspaper the Daily Mail.

The pop star explained the reason for her amusement when she shared her tart response: "All the other things that I've done within the queer space have not been a problem for you?"

The newspaper said that "Dannii added that she has 'gay friends all over the world' and that she was a staunch supporter of their varied journeys."

The show premiered last May, and was, Wikipedia notes, "the first British dating show to feature exclusively gay men." BBC Three touted the show as follows: "Pop goddess Dannii Minogue plays Cupid in the UK's first ever gay dating show."

"No small talk, no swiping – it's all about the first kiss."

And that might have been the problem for some viewers. The younger sister of Kylie Minogue theorized in an interview with Stellar magazine, "I think it brings it back to the point that, for a lot of people, it is very confronting to see guys kissing on TV."

"I get that," Minogue added. "And I'm not judging anyone if that is confronting for them – I can't change that."

But what she can change, she's going to – and that includes "having a show like this," the pop star said, so that "one day it will be normal and it won't be confronting for people."

The singer said that "It's going to take time because there's never been anything like this on the TV before," but she's changing that one program at a time.

"'I Kissed A Boy' has won rave reviews," the Daily Mail said, "and Dannii will return as the host of the lesbian version, 'I Kissed A Girl,' playing Cupid over ten episodes."
