Aron
Age: 27
From: Croydon
Job: Civil servant and cheerleading coach
Aron is "beyond proud" to be part of I Kissed a Boy as the show continues to make history across British television.
"The experiences of queer people aren’t a monolith, and this show peels the layers to show the ways [of], and celebrate, our unique differences while also recognising the thing that unites us, our queerness," he said.
Aron is a world champion cheerleader and has won world championships in Florida for the last two years. Ambitious and armed with a strong sense of self, growing up as a gay man in a traditional West African household didn't come without its challenges, but he was fortunate enough to have an accepting and supportive family.
Callum
Age: 27
From: St Leonard's on Sea, Hastings
Job: Administrator
Callum describes himself as "chaotic, cheeky and strong-minded", and in recent years he has gained a greater sense of his cultural identity after moving from his hometown to London, where the Nigerian side of his family live.
His celebrity crushes include Joey Essex, Drake and Jack Harlow, and he is a sucker for a pretty boy with some edge.
Jack D
Age: 26
From: Glasgow
Job: Hospital pharmacist
Jack is keen to take himself off the market and find a man he can share a "nice pastry and a pint with". Sick of the same group of guys he comes across on dating apps, Jack is excited for viewers to watch the drama unfold in "the messy massy".
Jack S
Age: 22
From: Wigan
Job: Banking advisor
Jack is a hopeless romantic and describes himself as "androgynous but more fem presenting" and enjoys shocking people with his rap persona, Jack Maniac, at open mic nights.
Over the years, Jack has had three relationships and a few situationships, and he is keen to break the chain of chasing after bad boys and meet someone with a good heart.
Jas
Age: 27
From: Glasgow
Job: Finance analyst
After an academic lifestyle in Glasgow, Jas moved to London after university and hasn't looked back. Jas wants to find a husband and dreams of getting married.
"I Kissed a Boy is so much more than just kisses and I'm glad to have shared my story on such an amazing platform. Representation is and always will be important," he said.
Jordan B
Age: 25
From: Lake District
Job: Retail store manager
Jordan swapped life on the farm for the hustle and bustle of Manchester, and now he's ready to stop playing games and find someone with a calming nature who will have the capacity to tame him.
Describing himself as a heartbreaker who isn't short of any offers from suitors, Jordan doesn't doubt that he'll be part of the drama if any arises.
Jordon R
Age: 27
From: Leeds
Job: Sales manager
Jordon is hoping to find the man of his dreams in the Masseria and is hoping to explore a dating world that doesn't involve guys who aren't emotionally available.
While Jordon has dates, he has never had a proper boyfriend or been in love, admitting he struggles to truly open up and allow people to get to know the real him.
Lars
Age: 23
From: Wolverhampton
Job: Hotel receptionist
Lars is a hopeless romantic and is sick of the single life. Ready to find his person, Lars wants to be part of I Kissed a Boy to push himself into meeting someone face-to-face, away from phones and other distractions.
Lars is the first transgender person to be on the show, something he is "so proud" about.
Rory
Age: 22
From: Galway
Job: Mental health support worker
Rory likes to observe and figure people out before making a move romantically, and when it comes to drama, he says he would rather watch the drama than be part of it.
As well as his day job, Rory works part-time as a model.
Ruben
Age: 24
From: London
Job: Artist and designer
After his first serious relationship ended three years ago, Ruben has been single ever since, and he is scared of being vulnerable and letting someone in, but he's hoping his time in the Masseria will flip the script.
