""I like that it's not a queer show because we're here, we're walking amongst you, straight people," she said. "I'm so pleased that they've involved queer cast members because we're looking for love just like anybody else. "It's really nice that it's mixed and I hope that it is the start of showing all of these different shows that you can [have LGBTQ+ contestants] and you can be diverse if you choose to be. Get on with it!""
"Stranded on Honeymoon Island, hosted by Davina McCall, sees a group of singletons embark on speed dating sessions, before a matchmaker pairs them up, and sends them to a remote island. Once there, the couples get married before even knowing each other's names, and then embark on a three week honeymoon together while stranded on an island. One of the couples is Helen, 35, and Abby, 32, who appeared to have a pretty instant connection during their speed date in episode one,"
Stranded on Honeymoon Island pairs singletons through speed-dating, matches them, and sends couples to a remote island to marry without knowing each other's names, then spend a three-week honeymoon stranded together. Helen, 35, and Abby, 32, formed an immediate connection but faced small challenges such as differing intimacy styles and a cold sore that limited kissing. The couple expressed hope that their appearance will encourage greater queer representation across reality dating formats. The BBC is expanding LGBTQ+ dating programming with I Kissed A Boy and I Kissed A Girl, while shows like Love Island and Love Is Blind have not featured queer couples.
