BBC's dating show I Kissed a Girl returns to the news. The provocative lesbian series is described by the Guardian as ridiculously fun and denounces its recent cancellation. Press and Journal follows a contestant from Moray who says she wants authentic small‑town lesbian representation for her community. Broadcast lists the show on the same slot as Light in the Hall: Still Waters in a parallel slot. The programme continues to attract steady viewer interest across the UK and keeps a enthusiastic audience.
US outlets Page Six and Us Weekly covered a story about Summer House star Kyle Cooke talking about a kiss with a woman called Astrid at Cannes Lions, which took place during a glamorous event. Cooke offers a vague reply and keeps the encounter private. The anecdote adds a trans‑continental dimension to the I Kissed a Girl conversation to the larger conversation.
