This is where you’ve seen I Kissed A Girl’s Almayra on TV before
I Kissed A Girl star Almayra (BBC)
The final series of queer dating show I Kissed A Girl is sadly almost over, with just one week of episodes left.
But if you’ve been watching and thinking “Almayra seems very, very familiar”, then you wouldn’t be wrong. You may well have seen her on television already.
Almayra Shah was a late arrival in the Italian masseria, joining after the original 10 girls entered looking for love.
In this week’s episodes, she got a letter from home from her twin Iman – and it’s a television appearance with her twin that fans may recognise her from.
The duo have appeared in a handful of adverts before, which they’ve shared on Instagram.
In September 2024, they shared an ad they’d filmed for Amazon Prime. It showed them watching football on television, before using Amazon to buy some football boots.
Almayra wrote at the time: “Filming for Prime in Barca with my twin! Can’t name anything better. It was such an honour to work with @michaelspiccia our director, thank you thank you thank you!”
More recently, the siblings appeared in a Microsoft advert which was full of identical twins.
Almayra’s I Kissed A Girl cast mates reacted to the ad. Nikita said: “Loveeeeee this.” Kayleigh wrote: “Coolest evaaaaaa.” Tyra said: “Ohh yeahhh!” Ashlea added: “So f***** cooool!”
I Kissed A Girl coming to an end
It was announced earlier this year that the BBC show would end after the current series finished airing.
Speaking to PinkNews, host Dannii Minogue spoke of why it was so important to have a show like it on television.
She said: “There has to be something like this on TV. It’s important on many levels, and the thing that astounds me is the people that still ask why Pride is important, why is it important to raise this flag or have this day. The conversation blows my mind.”
