Hello and welcome to I Kissed A Girl: The Reunion!

CHEERING

Last summer, I had the privilege of playing Cupid

for the UK's first cast of queer girls.

And weren't they just incredible?

CHEERING

Yeah!

It started with a kiss,

and from then on, the roller-coaster did not stop.

Things moved so quickly,

I've only just recovered from the whiplash!

Now, eight months on, the girls are back

to reveal all that's happened since their summer of love.

And I am dying to know the gossip!

Who is still together,

and who has found a new golden retriever?

OK, shall we get started?

ALL: - Yes!

- Please give it up for the girls!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Give in, let go Let the music start

# Have a little faith Need to open up

# Yeah, we could be the one - Oh

- # We could be the one, oh

# Hold on to me under neon lights

# Take me by the hand into the night

# Yeah, we could be the one - Oh

- # We could be the one, oh

# Neon lights and we are dancing. #

Girls, how good is it to see you back together?

You look beautiful.

Who's excited?

- Very! - Yeah!

- LAUGHTER

Who's nervous?

- Me!

- Well, we have so much to get through tonight.

But before we let the cats out of the bag,

let's take a look at our sizzling summer in Italy.

CHEERING

# We live in the era of being self-made... #

- I am about to kiss a girl that I've never met.

- No small talk.

- No swiping on the apps.

- NAEE: - It's just a kiss.

- Hot girl queer summer's here!

- Let's go, lesbians!

- I can't wait to see this!

- What's going to happen?

- Yes!

- # ..It takes a woman to know... #

- Fit girls, beautiful Masseria.

- Nobody's fucking safe.

- Tits everywhere.

- Just looked at Hannah's boobs and got distracted!

- I'm ready to kiss some girls!

- Uh-oh!

- Buongiorno!

Which girl is giving you that red flag vibe?

ALL: - Oh!

- Here we go.

- # These beautiful things that I've got... #

- What were you saying? - Some girlie chat.

- # ..Please stay... #

- It's either a yes or a no.

- Naee took me to the terrace yesterday.

- She's pissed me off.

- Are you scared about splitting any couple up?

- No. - What the fuck?

- I don't chase, I attract.

- It's a shame that it hasn't happened.

- I'm never that girl!

- Are you just talking shit?

- You literally just threw me under the bus.

- I love the drama.

- Just feel like you've been a complete bitch behind my back.

- What the actual flip is going on?

- If I didn't like you, I'd have gone home.

- It's really fucking tough.

- Oh...

- # Slam it to the left If you're havin' a good time

# Shake it to the right If you know that you feel fine

# Chicas to the front Ha! Ha!

# Go round... #

- The gayer, the better.

- Wahey! - Oh!

- ALL SHOUT

WHISTLE BLOWS

Totally amazing!

- Live, laugh, love, lesbian.

- This is the best hot queer girl summer I have ever had.

- Sexy girls and Dannii Minogue. Iconic.

- # ..Hai, si, ja! Hold tight. #

CHEERING

You ladies, what an impression you've made.

I mean, I was watching like that, but I loved every second of it!

Amy, I went back to Australia

and I'm like, I wonder if she's taken the boots off yet.

But no...the boots are still on. - They're glued on!

- And Fiorenza, the eyes.

We've got to talk about that moment on the terrace.

Because when you want to turn it on, you can put us in a trance.

Right, Meg? - Yeah!

- Your flirt game was on fire, and the fans noticed everything.

Take a look at this.

- Am I making you nervous?

Ha. Smile.

I'll wait for you to take your sip.

I've taken my sip.

- LAUGHTER

- Come here, then.

- Fans of this show have just been incredible.

I've loved just reading all of the messages.

I think she absolutely nailed it!

- Yeah. - Now, as you can see,

we are missing someone really important tonight.

Our football legend Georgia, who does have a valid excuse.

She's playing in a cup final match this evening!

CHEERING

But when it came to girls in Italy,

Georgia was not about playing the field.

From the moment she locked eyes with Cara,

it was a case of, "Nice to meet you.

"When are we moving in?"

LAUGHTER

# Feel the rain on your skin... #

GEORGIA: - It was perfect.

- SHE LAUGHS

- Your eyes are outrageous.

- Cara and Georgia...

That's basically the perfect lesbian couple.

- # Today is where your book begins... #

CHEERING

# The rest is still unwritten... #

I feel like you guys haven't taken your hands off each other

since the first kiss.

- I'm happy for both of you. - Yeah.

- You did look lovely together. - Thanks, Mum.

- Girls, if you're ready to commit,

then seal it with a kiss now.

# No-one else can feel it for you

# Only you can let it in... #

CHEERING

# No-one else, no-one else can speak the words... #

- Meeting Cara has definitely, like, surpassed any expectations

I think I had coming in here.

But then again, I think my expectations were, like,

pretty low. Ha!

- I kissed a girl and I really, really liked it.

- # The rest is still unwritten. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Cara, welcome to the reunion.

- Oh, hot seating.

- Yeah, we need to know.

What's the update?

- Uh, I literally wish I could be like,

"Yeah, we're married," but it's...

It just... I think it was just not going to work out because of

our communication and shit.

We didn't establish a relationship fully.

So... - What's happening?

It is happening? It's not happening?

- No, no, we're just friends.

- I mean, you two were inseparable.

It wouldn't be right unless

we caught up with the main girl herself.

So Georgia has recorded a little message.

- Hi, everyone. Sorry I can't be there tonight.

Absolutely gutted about it, but I've got football,

and as we famously know, football comes first.

I had the best experience on the show and honestly,

the reaction has been incredible.

I'm sure you've had the update from Cara.

Sadly, things didn't work out between us,

but thankfully we're still friends.

Girls, you're going to have the best night. I know you are.

You're going to be giddy as owt.

So, Dannii, look out for yourself, cos those girls can be wild.

Bye, everyone.

- CHEERING

Georgia! So good to see her.

We miss you so much.

But let's give it up for Cara and Georgia.

CHEERING

In Italy, Fiorenza and Amy were great friends,

but there was always the question if it could be more than that.

Fiorenza was searching for her black cat,

but had this feline been in front of her all along?

And just when she was seeing sense,

in walked Hannah,

and things for Amy got really complicated.

Do you think there's room in here for two more?

CHEERING

- I want to leave here with a girlfriend, not alone.

And I will get what I want, because...

..look at me.

- AMY: - Hannah is stunning. Like, my type to a T.

- Amy is fit as...

- SHE MOUTHS

- When the bottle landed on me, I thought this is the perfect time

to welcome Hannah to the Masseria.

- FIORENZA: - Me and Amy have been waiting to kiss, so...

- CHEERING

- Me and Amy should have kissed sooner because that was well overdue.

- Which lovely lady would you like to take behind closed doors?

- Amy.

- Can I go for round two with Hannah?

- Take me, Amy!

- Yeah.

- Part of me thought that, like, Amy would choose me.

- If you think it's what you want, like,

you've got to make moves and get it.

- You'll regret not doing it.

- I just wanted to chat to you

about where your head space is at with...

..people and that.

- Obviously, I would be lying if I said the door was closed.

- So my door's open...any time.

- Any time I have a conversation with Fiorenza, I'm like,

just remember, like, how much of a spark we kind of have

and how much emotionally we get each other.

Do you want to kiss? - You always want to kiss!

- But the connection I have with Hannah is just too strong to ignore.

My head's a mess!

- Amy, do you want to kiss one of these girls?

- On one hand, I have Fi,

who's been with me through my journey from the start.

We have this undeniable, you know, emotional connection.

And then, on the other hand, I have Hannah.

We have this amazing organic, undeniable chemistry.

My heart is just so heavy.

- Amy, reveal the name of the girl you want to kiss now.

- Hannah.

- # Friends don't look at friends that way

# Friends don't look at friends that way. #

Please welcome Hannah, Amy and Fiorenza.

CHEERING

Amy, in the middle of it again.

- I know! - I know! - Stuck between two Scots.

- Oh, my goodness. - Yeah!

- She's got a type.

- So, there were a lot of connections for you, Amy.

I did have to have a notepad.

It was...

There were a lot of notes and they kept going and going. - Yeah.

- So what was it for the two of you...

I'll start with Amy and Fiorenza.

..that took it out of that friendship zone?

- I think it was just the closeness and, like, we're so similar,

like, we're both so goofy and, like...

- Yeah, and I think as time went on, it was like...

It was too early days to, like, want to dive into, like,

the romantic side because

we were just such good friends. - Such good friends, yeah.

- And then obviously as time went on,

it was, like, a bit more flirting. - Yeah.

- And then I think, for me, it was actually when, like,

seeing Amy and Hannah together,

I think that was almost my point where I was like,

I need to, like... - Yeah. - ..get in there.

- So, Amy, tell us how you felt when Hannah walked in.

- I, like, was gobsmacked.

Obviously I was dressed as Jennifer Coolidge. - Yes!

- So, you know, I... my first thought was, "Shit." Like...

"I'm, like, drowned in a wig,

"glasses, scarf." - You wanted to rip it off?

- I was like, "Babe, I'm hot..." - I'm here!

Once we got rid of the Jennifer Coolidge costume... - Yeah.

Shed that layer. - There was obviously... You shed that layer!

There was obviously that attraction there.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- THEY LAUGH

- I mean, when she was strutting her stuff down that runway,

I was like, "Jesus!" Two femmes. I was like, "OK."

When you miss one bus, two comes. - Fiorenza?

- I realise that, like, everything happens for a reason

and like, I'm... Yeah, ..settled with the fact that, like,

we're just friends and I'm like, I'm happy that it worked out that way,

that we just ended it as friends, you know.

- It's the perfect almost-love story,

and I think that's beautiful in the way that it is. - AUDIENCE: - Aww.

- Like... - Yeah. - It's... - And I'm just really happy,

the way things turned out... - You say love story,

but talking about a friendship, right? - Yeah.

As in almost-love story, as in, like, we now have this friendship,

but it could have been something. Do you know what I mean?

- We are platonic soulmates. - Yeah, we're platonic soulmates. - Yeah.

- You can be yourselves with each other. - Yeah, exactly.

- Just be flirty and fabulous. - Exactly! - Yeah.

- Not too flirty, though. - Yeah. - As friends. - Yeah. Calm down!

- Oh, goodness.

- Kidding on!

- All right. Fiorenza, where are you up to now?

Are you dating? Are you single?

What's happening?

- Yeah, I'm in a relationship now. - You are? - Yeah.

Um, I've been going out with her for about six months now.

- Yeah? How's it going? - It's going really well.

- You're so happy.

- Yeah, really happy. Yeah. - Yeah.

Well, please say hi to your girlfriend for me. - I will do.

- And I wish you all the best.

- Thank you so much. - So let's thank Fiorenza.

CHEERING

Amy and Hannah became an official couple

and these lovebirds were well and truly smitten,

but soon cracks started to form for the new couple

as Hannah got spooked by the ghost of Fiorenza.

# Two, three, four Woohoo... #

- Feeling really good about Hannah.

Like, she just makes me giddy!

I can't stop kissing the girl.

- Is your attraction to your partner 100% genuine?

- Yeah.

- LAUGHTER

- Yeah. Course it is. Why wouldn't it be?

- What one word would you use to describe your partner and why?

- Different. - Oh.

I was like, not sure how to take it.

- Do you feel you have a strong emotional connection

with your partner? - Yeah. - No.

- It's a bit awkward.

Has your partner always made you feel secure?

- No.

The Fiorenza situation didn't really make me secure.

- Amy, do you trust Hannah completely?

- I wouldn't say completely, no.

- # You're not the one for me

# No, no... #

- Amy and Hannah.

Yikes. - Yeah.

- That was a train wreck.

- Do you regret picking me over Fi?

- No, I don't. I fully don't. - I don't know if I believe you or not.

- We know where we stand with each other and, like...

I still am really attracted to you.

- Oh, well, I hope so!

I think she should have picked Fiorenza.

I'm just overthinking and scared that she's not going to turn.

- # My heart forsaken me. #

- I feel like I've definitely had a journey in here.

But in the end I ended up with Hannah and it just feels right.

- There is a part of me that's worried that she isn't going to turn for me.

- # Now I second-guess my thoughts Every step... #

- I took a leap by choosing Hannah over Fi,

and it's definitely paid off.

- If you're ready to commit, then seal it with a kiss...now.

# Go ahead and break my heart That's fine... #

- I think you're amazing, Amy.

There is a physical connection there,

but I just don't think that emotional connection is 100% there.

- I'm gutted, I can't lie.

I'm such, like, a lover.

And, like, that is truly the reason why I came in here.

It's just...

..just sad it hasn't ended that way.

- # Like you did mine. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hannah, I'll start with you.

Getting to know Amy,

what was it about her personality?

- I did make a comment and I said different,

and I'm going to take the time now to explain what different is.

- Yeah. - Absolutely...

..the best person. I've never met anyone

with a personality like yours.

You're so kind. You're so lovely.

Like, you're funny, so funny.

Different in a great way. - Yeah. - In a good way.

- What was going through your head at the final kiss-off?

- My head was a mess, a complete mess.

I had no idea, like, was Amy going to turn? Was Amy not going to turn?

Obviously, from, like, conversations we had and the chemistry test,

I was just a bit thrown off, so I didn't actually...

Maybe the communication wasn't there.

- How did you feel, Amy?

- I genuinely thought, I was stood there and I was like,

"Oh, like she's doing a bit."

I was like, "She's, like, longing it out." - Yeah!

- "She's teasing me."

And then it just kept going and going and going and I thought,

"Oh!" Like...

"I've just been rejected again!"

But no hard feelings at the end of the day.

I think everything happens for a reason.

And me and Hannah weren't meant to be.

And it does, like...it does kind of upset me when you say

you didn't turn because you thought I wasn't going to turn.

Like, at the end of the day, I didn't turn

off of...the thought of what you were going to do.

It was purely off, like, based off of my feelings. - Mm-hm. - But...

I...I do see... Like, I do get where you're coming from

in terms of the chemistry test and everything.

- Do you think, Hannah, sometimes people think

you're a lot stronger than you are?

- Yeah.

I mean, I come across very...

..confident and like, "Woo!"

But deep down I'm like, it's just a...it's just a show.

- It's funny because, like, when she first came

into the Masseria, I was like, "Oh, my God, this bitch,

"like, she's got nerves of steel."

She was giving nothing away. She was, like, playing mysterious.

But she puts this front on.

- Now, Priya, do you stand by what you said at the time?

- My opinion has changed.

I do love Hannah.

I think it was just the way she came across.

She came in full guns blazing... - Yeah!

- ..and I was like, "Oh." We just got off on the wrong foot.

- Yeah. - That was...that was the situation. But, yeah.

- And you had my back. You were protective. - Yeah.

- Hannah wasn't the only girl making tough decisions

at the final kiss-off.

Throughout their time in the Masseria,

Eva and Meg were going from strength to strength.

But when Meg arrived at the L-word,

Eva worried if she could ever meet her there.

- I'm actually, like, quite happy

with how things are going. - So am I.

- I wouldn't want it to change. - And I know...

- Yeah, I'm just for you. - Yeah.

- Meg makes me feel really, really, really good about myself.

And Meg makes me feel really, really confident.

- Girls, reveal your decision...

..now.

# I feel it now, I need it... #

CHEERING

# That feeling That feeling when... #

- I am so grateful and so happy

to be able to grow my connection with Eva.

- Obviously we're like this, but when we leave here,

it can't keep going like that.

It kind of has to go a little bit, like, slower. - Stay there, yeah.

I know exactly what you mean.

- Meg, are you falling in love with Eva?

- Yes.

- Eva, are you falling in love with Meg?

- No.

- I could have said no. - Yeah. - But I didn't want to lie.

It's like, you're getting them...

..that you're starting to get them feelings.

- I...I'm genuinely so scared of being committed to anyone.

We are moving at two different paces, almost.

I have this thing in the back of my head being like,

I don't want to lead her on.

Because she is an amazing person.

She cares a lot about me and I care a lot about her.

- Girls, if you're ready to commit, then seal it with a kiss now.

- I was so just shocked.

It just upset me cos, you know,

you just want to care for someone so much,

like, you've got so much love to give.

- You were so loved.

You're so beautiful.

You will find the right person.

- I guess it means my match is still out there somewhere

waiting for me.

So...

..fingers crossed I find them.

- Meg and Eva, welcome to the hot seat!

You're looking great. - So are you.

Always. - Thank you!

Eva, when you came in...

Woo! What an entrance!

And I see you're here in a gorgeous dress tonight.

- Yeah, I just thought I'd switch it up a bit.

I think I was... I was feeling very, like, masculine

whenever this was filmed.

And now I just feel a little bit more confident in myself

and, like, my femininity, because I'm not going for

the straight girls any more, so now I'm...

- So, you learnt a lot in the Masseria about yourself? - Oh, my word...

Yeah, yeah.

Understatement, understatement.

- Meg, I think you had a lot to do with that, right?

I think you opened your heart,

and you had a lot to do with opening other people's hearts, too.

- I mean, I'm a lover girl. What can I say?

- What can I say!

Eva, is there anything that, you know, Meg did particularly that,

you know, really helped you open up to yourself?

- I feel like I've, like, reached my final form now of, like,

being fully confident in, like, my sexuality, femininity, masculinity.

Meg did genuinely, like, just really helped me out in a way

I didn't know I needed.

- We had that friendship there to start off with.

It was very much a solid ground, where you could speak to someone.

Just... You could just speak to someone about anything.

That's what we started off on, and then it grew from there.

- Now, Eva, do you think, looking back now, it was the right thing

to do, not to turn?

- Looking back now, I....

..would still stand by my choice,

because I feel like I wouldn't want to string Meg along.

I think she's an amazing person, and I just want the best for her.

- It was a tough moment.

- It was. It was hard watching it, as well.

It's so difficult to get that right balance and be that

perfect person for someone. It never works out.

- Guess what? It's cos they're not the right person.

Never dim your light!

Uh-uh!

What's the update for you? Are you dating?

- I am seeing someone, yes.

- AUDIENCE: - Ooh!

- You know, there's nothing I love better than seeing your face

when you are happy.

You give everything - your eyes, everything.

It is beautiful.

Tell me about her.

- Funnily enough, Dannii, you might actually know her.

- Oh!

What do you mean, I know her?

Meg, who is it?

- Lailah?

- CHEERING

Well, I think we're going to have to do a sofa switch,

and say goodbye to Hannah, Amy and Eva.

Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE

Lailah, thank God you've got your running shoes on.

Get here now!

- I know.

- OK!

Girls, it's so good to see you so happy!

Meg, you have famously said, "I'm always that girl."

Lailah was like, "There's no-one here for me. I'm leaving."

And look at you two now. - I'm not that girl any more.

- So, Lailah, what happened?

- So, it was a few days after, like, the rest of the girls

flew back from Italy, and Meg dropped me a message.

We got to talking and, like...

I had a bit of a crush on Meg in there, like,

I'll be honest, that, like, developed a few days in,

and I didn't know that she was kind of crushing on me a bit too.

Like, so... - Slid in the DMs.

- Some flirty DMs!

- So, it went from there. We met up, like, a week and a half later.

- Where did you meet up?

- I'd just flown back, and I landed in Manchester,

and we went for a cheeky Nando's.

- Oh, I love a cheeky Nando's!

What future are we looking at?

How's this going to play out?

- We're taking each day as it comes, seeing what falls in our way.

- Basically, Meg's moving in next week.

No, I'm joking, I'm joking. She's not.

- But you've met family. - Yeah. - How's the whole family thing going?

- Yeah, my family love Meg, and my friends are obsessed with her.

She's amazing. Like, falling in love with Meg has been, like, one of

the most beautiful experiences of my life, like, genuinely.

- AUDIENCE: - Aw!

- No, seriously.

I think, like, the whole country fell in love with her.

But, like, being able to do it on a personal level,

she has the biggest heart. - Yeah.

- And, like, the fact that she...

The fact that she gets to love me with that, I...

Yeah, she's that girl. She's THAT girl, so...

- Well, I heard the L-word a few times just dropped then,

so I'm just going to go and buy a hat - for whatever my...you know...

- I think you might have to.

- DANNII SCREAMS

That's so good!

So happy for you.

Please, another round of applause for Lailah and Meg.

CHEERING

Before we started filming, I was told the girls would move fast,

but I wasn't prepared for just how fast that roller-coaster would be.

I wish I could talk you through it but, honestly,

I can't talk that quickly. So, luckily I know someone who can!

Taking us through the wonderful web of connections

is the amazing Charley Marlowe.

CHARLEY: We all know lesbians move fast.

- I was engaged to someone in the military in the US,

and I'd never met them, and it was after two months.

- That's so gay!

- But in the Masseria, the path to love was more like

a dating superhighway.

- Three, two, one! Lesbians!

- I'll try and explain. But I'm warning you, it gets messy.

So, here we go.

Once the snogging started, it didn't take long for the girls to scramble.

- Gay panic.

- Fiorenza and Meg weren't feeling things with their matches.

- Amy, she's lovely, but there's not

that initial butterflies there.

- But up on that terrace, they were soon feeling each other.

- I fancy you.

- Yeah, feeling's mutual.

- Oh, God.

- Amy matched with new girl Eva...

- Our vibes are off the scale.

- ..then quickly realised she might fancy her best mate Fiorenza.

- Do you have a wee crush on me?

- I have a wee crush on Fiorenza...

- But that was OK, because Eva had made moves for Meg,

who had just been dumped by Fiorenza.

- I do have, like, a weird crush on Fiorenza.

- That's fine, cos I've got a bit of a crush on Eva.

- Ah!

It's giving wife swap! It's giving sister wives.

- Keeping up? Well, if that wasn't enough...

- Girls!

- ..new girls arrived!

- Chop and change, chop and change!

- I think you need to move fast.

- And you don't need to tell these girls that twice.

Thea snogged Beth.

Then Amy snogged Lailah.

And then they all basically snogged each other.

- Woo!

- The path to love was more confusing than previous line-ups

of the Sugababes.

- You've got Thea, you've got Meg, you've got Amy,

you've got flippin' Beth.

Oh, my God, I cannot keep up.

- There you go.

In summary - total chaos.

I'm bloody exhausted after that.

Thank you, Charley!

Now joining me are four girls who came, slayed

and said ciao, ciao to love.

They turned heads, they kept us giggling.

And they don't chase - they...

AUDIENCE: - ..attract!

- OK! Please welcome Demi and Beth and Thea.

Demi, our baby gay! How are you doing?

- I'm good. How are you? - Good.

I mean, you came in, you met this wonderful group of girls.

How's life been since you left the Masseria? - Life's been good.

- Yeah? - It's been good. The Masseria gave me so much confidence.

I feel like it's just been on the up ever since I left.

- What do you think you learnt?

- I learnt a lot about myself.

I learnt to be more centred and also more confident in my sexuality.

I learned it's OK for me to take up space within the queer community,

even if I hadn't dated a woman. - Woo!

- Erm... Yeah, woo!

- You didn't have long to make connections inside the Masseria.

Has anyone caught your eye since?

- I have a partner now. - Yeah? - They're amazing.

Yeah, they're called Jill.

- Oh! - They're very cool.

They're Fiorenza's best friend. - Yeah!

- Jill! We love you, Jill!

So, hang on...

Fiorenza and Demi, you had your first kiss together.

And now, Fiorenza, you're playing Cupid.

- Yeah.

- Yeah! - That's my best friend!

- Em, you came in for adventure.

You stood under the adventure pillar.

What's happened since the Masseria?

- I still have had my adventure.

- Tell us what it's been.

- Yeah, I took the van over to Europe.

So, I've been travelling.

- Met any great ladies along the way?

- Uh...

Europe has a lot of nice girls.

- LAUGHTER

- I'm very glad I've been single for the trip.

- Oh!

- Yeah, it's been good so far, but no-one's...

..no-one's, like, stuck just yet.

- OK. Now, Beth.

- Yes.

- Yes! There's that laugh!

I've missed that laugh.

- I've toned it down a bit.

- How's it been since you left the show?

- Yeah, great. Um...

I've been living my best life.

- And we all get updates, as well. - Yeah.

- Beth tells us everything.

Those voice notes will...!

- Voice notes? - I'm probably a bit too open.

But I do share with the girls all my dating drama.

- Everything.

Every detail!

- Beth has been living her best lesbian life.

- So, beware, whoever you date,

is going to be right across this chat group.

Thea. - Hi!

- What have you been up to?

- Lots of gigs, lots of... - The girls have come to some gigs?

- The girls have been!

Cos I was, like, my time on the show was, like, so short.

I felt, like, really upset that I didn't get to spend so much

time with them. I'm so grateful that, like...

They're so supportive and, like, we can still be friends

afterwards, as well, Like, I'm so grateful for that.

And they love my music, right, guys?

- Yeah!

- I listen to your music! I love your music!

- Oh, thank you. - Yeah, it's fantastic.

Well, it's great to see you gorgeous girls enjoying life

and to see you back here all together.

So, Demi, Em, Beth, Thea - thank you so much.

In the Masseria, it wasn't all fun and games and snogging.

Across the summer, we saw the girls opening up to each other

for incredible conversations about queer history, identity,

pride and sexuality.

And we all loved hearing the girls' stories

and the conversations that they sparked.

- Wearing, like, feminine clothes, for me, like, I've never just felt...

I never felt comfortable.

I feel like I'm trying to fit into something that I'm not.

- I actually had long hair.

I think the only reason I cut it was to look more gay.

I was in a heterosexual relationship for four and a half years.

- What?! - Really? - I was with a guy for four years.

I was a completely different person in that relationship,

and now I've been able to become, like, my true self since then.

- Honestly, I'm, like, tearing up!

- Yeah. Genuinely.

Like, I was Emily before, I think, and now I'm Em.

- What's, like, annoying, as well, is when you do come out as bi,

sometimes people are waiting for you to then come out as lesbian. - Yeah.

- But it's frustrating where, like, it's not a stepping stone.

Like, this is where I'm stopping now.

- Did you just, like, struggle with feeling, like,

not gay enough for lesbians, or else being, like, a kink for men?

- Yeah. - I always feel the urge to be like, it's not a kink

and I'm not having a threesome. - Yeah. Just get that out there.

- Yeah, just letting you know that this is not what's happening.

- How do you guys feel about the word "lesbian"?

- I don't mind it, really and truly.

I use it. - Do you? - I don't think it's like...

I don't know why people shy away from that word.

- I feel like I've always identified, like, as gay,

as opposed to saying I'm a lesbian.

Thinking back to, like, school, if there was a boy that was

interested, and you weren't about it, it's like,

"Oh, are you a fucking lesbian?"

It's like, "No, I just don't fucking like you. You're a cock."

Do you guys know why the L is the first letter in the LGBTQ+?

- No. - No, I don't.

- You know like back with the, like, HIV and the Aids epidemic? - Yeah.

- Nobody wanted to really help them.

It was lesbians that were helping them and, like, nursing them.

Cos it was like...

- Stop, that's giving me... - I'm going to cry!

It still bothers me, when it shouldn't,

because it's such a good word.

- Do you know what, after that story, I can't wait to go out

and just tell people I'm a fucking lesbian.

- I'm a lesbian!

I need to just say to, like, my younger self, "You are a lesbian."

Why would you not want to be a lesbian?

- APPLAUSE

Lesbians, I see you!

Wow.

These brave conversations had such an impact.

How was the response?

- Incredible. - It was beautiful.

- I think it's, like, really beautiful that we were quite a diverse cast

and personalities, like, different intersectionalities, as well.

And I think, like, younger queer lesbians can watch this

and see themselves in, like, each and every one of us.

And we just didn't have that, like, growing up at all.

- Cara, there was an amazing moment where we saw you speaking

with other openly bi women.

Is it really important to have that safe space to talk?

- Obviously, I don't be around people all the time in the queer community,

so, for me, being around all these girls and actually talking to people

who I could identify with and relate to is so...

It's been so important for me coming out the show.

Like, my ma even says when I came out, she was like,

"You're literally so much more yourself." And...

I just appreciate all yous guys!

- Under the Italian sky, one couple shone brightly from the start.

Priya, a Taurus from South Wales, looking for her protector,

and Naee, a Virgo from south London, looking for her princess.

They stayed together at every kiss-off,

were voted the strongest couple in the Masseria,

said the L-word at next steps,

and sealed it with a kiss at the final kiss-off.

But before we find out what's written in the stars, let's recap.

# Can you come a little closer?

- OK, thank God. She's my type.

- She's fun.

Like, she's a bit of me, she's a bit of me.

- So, how do you feel about this situation?

- To be honest, I'm still trying to see what you're saying.

- I'm still trying to figure you out.

- No, like, I'm still very interested in you.

- Reveal your decision now.

How are you feeling?

- Relieved. - Relieved?

- I'm looking forward to how we grow in ourselves

and our relationship, too.

I want to fuck her so bad. - Ah!

- Oh, God... Just get us a bedroom, please.

I am very smitten.

I don't know. I feel like such a teenager when I say that.

- Even outside the Masseria, I'm going to feel the same way about you.

- Me, too.

I can't see it changing. - Yeah.

- Do you think we'll be official at some point?

- I want you to be my girlfriend. That'd be so real. - Mm.

- Are you falling in love with your partner?

- I would say yes.

- Priya? - Yes.

- I've never heard you speak about anyone like this before.

And you haven't stopped smiling!

- Thanks, Mum.

- If you're ready to commit, seal it with a kiss now.

- My feelings for Naee are very strong.

Going down the... the long-term route.

- Girls!

The strongest couple, couldn't keep your hands off each other!

What happened when you got back to the UK?

- She went back home and got married to her fiancee.

- Oh, no!

- I'm so sorry, bro.

- You're doing too much! - I'm so sorry, bro.

- Are you making that up? - I'm being serious.

Her fiancee that she mentioned in episode one... - Uh, hang on...

- ..she went and got married to her after the show.

- I was going to be nice about it, but it's not...

..it's not looking that way any more.

If you want to be acting like that.

- Is what it is, bro.

- What happened? - OK, so...

The story... Naee has her version.

But I did mention in the show that I was...

..I was engaged to someone in America.

- I just want to be clear.

Before you started the show, you had completely called off

the engagement and broken up with her? - Yeah.

We were, like, done.

- You'd broken up with the fiancee.

Had you stayed friends with her? - Yeah.

- So, you were friends with her, you spoke to her.

- And then...

..just before the show, we got back in touch.

I let her know about the show.

Went on the show.

I was falling in love with Naee.

Came out the show, stayed at hers for a week.

And then she was calling me and she was very, like,

upset about the situation.

Like, I sat on it.

So, I went back home, I sat on it, debated on...you know...

I think the fact that I'd known her for a long time,

and I think it was just the time.

But Naee is an amazing person,

although what she did just now was questionable.

- It's the truth, to be honest. It's my truth, bro.

- Naee, is it difficult?

Because I remember at the beginning you said it's normal for you

to have a few girls... - Yeah. - ..going at the same time.

- Yeah, the whole problem is, like, we both said after the show,

we were speaking to people. That's fair enough.

But I found out the whole truth from someone in the cast.

Like, she didn't have an actual conversation with me

about what was going on. - I called you.

- We didn't have an actual conversation... - I called you.

- Don't sit here and lie... - I'm not even...

I called you saying... - Who did I find out the truth from, bro?

I already knew you were speaking to someone else, first of all.

- I called you. - I already knew, bro.

This is why you was blocked before. Do you understand? - Oh, my God. OK.

- I had no idea who she was speaking to.

I just knew that her energy shifted when she got back home.

- So, you thought she's gone back to Wales,

and then you hear she's in America?

- Basically.

- And she's got back together with her ex.

- Her fiancee, yeah.

- How did that make you feel?

- I was just like, damn, that's quite shit, to be honest.

But...

- So, you were ready to be with Priya?

- I was ready up until her energy shifted.

And then I was like, OK, like, something's clearly going on.

Something's wrong here.

But I just didn't know the truth, the whole truth.

- Priya, you reconnected with your ex.

Tell me about what happened in the States.

- We got married. We just... Yeah, that was it.

- You flew there and you just got married that trip?

- Two weeks into being in America, yeah.

It WAS a difficult decision, because I didn't want to hurt her.

And I truly am very sorry for hurting you,

and that was not my intention, whatsoever.

I just went with my heart and...

Yeah.

- What does she do? - She's in the military.

She's, literally, the best person for me, so...

I'm very happy. Living my best gay life.

- I'm happy for you. - Thank you.

- Thank you, Dannii.

- It is what it is at the end of the day.

Like, at least you found love. You know, I'm happy for you, bro.

- Naee, where do things go from here?

Cos I don't want to see you shut down and not open up to love.

- I'm not shut down to love.

I'm speaking to someone. - You are?

- Yeah. - Oh, good.

But you're happy?

- I'm cool, yeah.

- Well, I wish you both a fantastic life in your next steps.

Let's give it up for Priya and Naee.

Finally, for a Masseria chapter which ended all too soon.

With Abbie and Lisha, there were sparks, cuddles

and a few red flags to navigate.

The path to love is never straight, especially when communication starts

to break down, but these two were ready to keep working

on their connection.

That's until a dramatic turn of events changed everything.

- I was like, wow.

Are you happy? - Yeah, I'm happy.

She is unreal!

- Mama's so happy!

- I see Meg and Lish flirt in front of me, like,

it does make me feel like shit.

- I'm not flirting with her.

- You're all over her.

- If I wanted to explore things with Meg,

I think I would have done it by now. - Yeah.

OK.

- Abbie, do you think Lisha's good at communicating?

- Yeah. - Oh...

That was a bit of a gap, babe.

- Yeah, um...

- You're making out to the group like I'm shit at communicating

and that I don't listen to you.

- How have things been going?

- It's been bumpy, but I feel like it's just made me realise

how much I really do like her. - Same.

No, I feel like we're really working on our communication.

- Priya and Naee.

You will now have to decide which couple are together,

but their hearts aren't truly in it.

The couple you choose will leave the Masseria now.

- Lisha and Abbie.

- What?!

- Our journey in here has not been a smooth one.

But we've dealt with our issues and just grown closer.

You don't speak up about issues, then you're just coasting and...

..you're hiding behind something.

- APPLAUSE

Well, it's eight months on since then.

Break the news.

Are you still together?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- CHEERING

Wow, this is crazy.

So, you were voted off as the couple least likely to stay together.

What happened when you left Italy?

- You came straight back to mine, didn't you, to Brighton? - Yeah.

- Met my friends, my family.

We had so much fun. And then I came up to yours.

- Yeah, met the family. - AUDIENCE: - Aw!

- That's fantastic.

- We're still, like, very different people, but we have so much...

- We're still learning about each other every single day. - Yeah.

We're still growing. And, yeah, our hearts are definitely in it.

- Yeah, definitely.

- And so, what are the next steps? What are the...?

- Getting engaged! - Get married, have children.

- No, I think the distance is hard, so I think in the near future...

- Moving out.

- We definitely want to move closer.

- Well, I love to see love, so I'm so happy for you.

Please give it up for Abbie and Lisha!

Our time is almost up. What an amazing reunion.

Although, please, no more U-turns, please. I couldn't cope.

So, if you could just hold off from hooking up or breaking up

in the next...

..minute, that would be fantastic.

And one quick thing, I have a very special announcement.

I'm so excited and proud to say that we'll be back

with a brand-new series.

I will be playing Cupid again for the return of I Kissed A Boy.

CHEERING

Casting for the show is open.

So, if you are queer and would like to join me in Italy

for a summer of love, then apply now.

Girls, you have been amazing.

You have smashed stereotypes, you've broken hearts,

and you had us falling down in laughter.

Stay gorgeous.

And you know what I'm going to say now...

Love who you want to love.

And thank you at home for watching, Your support has been amazing.

You've wrapped your arms around these brave and beautiful girls,

and it's been wonderful to see.

All that's left for us to do is party,

and we can't have a party without a dress-up.

So, tonight the girls have raided Amy's wardrobe -

which contains a lot of boots.

So, love and kisses.

And let's party!
