Bad Boyfriends Adds First Same-Sex Couple as Series Two Sets Sept. 14 Return

Olivia Attwood calls the inclusion a "no brainer," citing the challenge of finding real couples willing to film.

Overview

  • Anthony and Dillon join the cast as the show's first same-sex pairing, marking a shift toward broader representation.
  • The series returns Sunday, 14 September on ITV2 and ITVX, with outlets reporting the start time as either 9pm or 10pm.
  • Attwood says remaining impartial is difficult, stressing she will not condone unacceptable behaviour while protecting participants’ welfare.
  • Producers say they skipped a same-sex couple in series one because they could not find a pair with the right history and readiness for cameras.
  • Show materials describe eight unsuspecting boyfriends being lured to a Greek island before their partners confront them, with care worker Anthony and activities co-ordinator Dillon among this season's couples.
