About History Crush

History Crush was set to be a series that examined famous historical figures through a modern lens. Hosted by historian Katie Kennedy, also known as The History Gossip, the show aimed to explore whether some of history's most iconic personalities were still worthy of admiration despite their questionable choices. Each episode focused on a different figure, such as Lord Byron, Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon, Charles Dickens, and Henry VIII, evaluating their lives and personalities to determine if they are still crush-worthy or better left in the past.

The series was planned to be a lively, somewhat spicy take on history, blending humor with historical analysis. It was designed to appeal to viewers interested in both history and pop culture, offering a fresh perspective on well-known figures from the past. The show was set to feature Katie Kennedy and a team of expert historians, who would delve into the personal stories and reputations of these titans of history.
