No. 1 singer breaks down in tears as she reveals she 'identifies as queer'

Dannii Minogue revealed she identifies “as queer” during the launch show of the new dating series I Kissed A Girl.

Fans have been making a song and dance about Dannii Minogue for decades, and the Australian singer has certainly been returning the favor, famed for such hit songs as I Begin To Wonder and Who Do You Love Now. Her song All I Wanna Do became her first number-one dance hit in the UK, but she’s not just a singer. The 52-year-old is also a well-known TV personality, and she decided it was time to open up about her sexuality while presenting the launch of a brand-new show…

Dannii Minogue says she identifies ‘as queer’ on dating show

Presented by Dannii, the new gay dating show I Kissed A Girl will begin airing on Sunday, May 5th 2024, on BBC Three over in the UK.

During the launch show, the pop icon took the opportunity to lay the cards out on the table about her own sexuality. Addressing audiences, she revealed: “I identify as queer in a weird way.”

Shedding a few tears, she expressed her thoughts that a dating series for lesbian and bisexual women in the UK has been long overdue. Now that it’s arrived, she feels the moment is somewhat “surreal”.

“This is so important,” she acknowledged. “There hasn’t been a show for the girls in the reality gay dating world. It’s like we need this to happen. I’m hoping that there are parties up and down the country. I want this to go well, obviously. Everybody’s put everything on the line.”

Looking ahead, she added: “I hope there are more series of this show, and more girls get the opportunity to have this experience.”

As for Dannii’s love life in the wake of the personal update, she’s still dating music producer Adrian Newman, whom she’s been with romantically since around 2014.

I Kissed A Girl contestants were ‘practically drooling’ over Dannii

If you haven’t heard already, I Kissed A Girl presents 10 single women who have been matched by
dating agents. Kissing before they’ve ever even spoken, they come to the slapdash decision of whether they possess the chemistry it takes to move forward.

“In my role as Cupid,” Dannii said of the Italian villa-set show, “I always hope that an attraction sparks with such intensity that it leads to a lasting relationship, but my lips are sealed whether that happens in this series. One thing I can tell you is that it was the ultimate lesbian summer holiday that the girls loved, I got the feeling that they didn’t want it to end.”

Dannii may only be presenting and not a contestant, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t attracted some serious attention from the participants.

“Every time we saw her, the girls would be practically drooling,” one of the contestants, Priya, admitted. “Me included.”

Another of the contestants, Amy, has said how much she fancies Dannii. When asked if she felt the same, Dannii replied: “You girls are hot. You know it. I love it. I’m here for it. Is that an answer?”
