Fans watched as she started to date Shane and even enjoyed a passionate snog with him on Wednesday's show.

But tonight dating experts Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson told the 34-year-old that they had lined up a couple of women for her to meet, marking the first time on the show that she would be on a date with someone of the same gender.

"I have only just been tested with one gender thus far..." she told them, and then squealed in excitement, "what the hell".

"They are specifically coming for you!" Anna said.

Later in the confessional, Kimberley said she was "absolutely buzzing" at the prospect of meeting two new girls, but admitted still having a strong attachment to Shane

"But let's be real, I do have feelings for Shane, so I don't know what's going to happen next," she said.

Her first date was with stunning curly haired blonde girl Takisha, 25, and was looking for someone "who doesn't take themselves too seriously".

The pair chatted for a couple of minutes before Kimberley confessed "I kissed somebody for the first time yesterday".

"Not knowing this was going to happen... my question to you is if you were come to the house how would you feel about that," she asked her.

Takisha admitted she was a very "chill" person and it would not faze her at all.

Kimberley's next date was with Lauren who is an influencer in London and is looking for someone who is "ambition and driven".

They briefly chatted about Instagram, and then Kimberley promptly cut to the chase about her situation with Shane.

"I am currently exploring my options with one person, I really do like them and I'm in this system of dating for me," she said.

While Kimberley was "grateful" for getting the opportunity and "really fancied both" the women she sent them packing so she could focus on Shane.

She ducked back to the mansion to chat to Shane and told him she chose him over the girls.

"I won't lie, there was one girl I really would have like to have snogged," Kimberley told an eager Shane.

"But there's now way I'm going to mess with what I've got, you are the person I'm thinking about constantly and want to be around."

Shane loved the news telling the actress: "I really like that, we're in a good place."

Viewers were divided about Kimberley's decisions with some saying they 'admired her morals' while others thought she was mad to turn away the good looking ladies.

"I can’t keep up with Kimberley & what she’s going to do next," wrote one Twitter user.

Another added: "Kimberley has good morals. I like her more by the minute."

And a third said: "They should have made it less like a panel interviews for more romantic for Kimberley. Those two gorgeous women didn’t get a chance to shine."
