Two Glaswegians are starring in the new season of a hit BBC reality show. 

Hospital pharmacist Jack D, 26, and Finance Analyst Jas, 27, are both set to appear on the LGBTQ+ dating show, I Kissed A Boy. 

The first episode of the show, which is now in its second season, aired on Sunday, May 11. 

Hosted by Australian singer, Dannii Minogue, the show follows 11 single men who are on the hunt to find love.

Jack D, who is a self-confessed serial dater, is looking to take himself off the market and find a man who he can share a nice pastry and a pint with. 

When it comes to dating, as confident as he may be, Jack isn’t keen on making the first move in fear of being rejected.

Jack D also thinks the queer scene in Glasgow is quite small and he’s tired of the same group of guys circling all the apps.

Speaking on what viewers can expect from him, he said: "Expect the unexpected is all I can say. Things changed by the hour in the messy massy, so you’ll be seeing a lot of drama. Expect a lot of important conversations as well.

"But mainly, expect to see a group of queer guys having a very gay old time and having a laugh."

Meanwhile, Jas is very family oriented and grew up with his mum, dad and sister in the city.

Talking about how much he loves his culture ahead of starring on the show, he said he appreciates that he can be an ‘openly gay Scottish Punjabi man’ with the support of his family and friends and looks upon it as his superpower.

After an academic lifestyle in Glasgow, Jas moved to London after university and hasn’t looked back. He now wants to find a husband and dreams of getting married.

He said: “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."

The second episode of I Kissed A Boy airs at 9pm on Monday on BBC Three. 

You can catch up with I Kissed A Boy season one and I Kissed A Girl on BBC iPlayer.
