First look as Little Mix star's mum searches for love on First Dates Hotel

Leigh-Anne Pinnock's mother will turn to First Dates Hotel in a bid to find love.

The Little Mix star's mum is set to feature in the upcoming episode of the hit Channel 4 show as she looks to find love, encouraged to do so by the Sweet Melody singer and her siblings. Debbie is keen to find a man to be her knight in shining armour.

A first look shows Debbie as she meets Rob for the first time. He is a single father and stationery sales manager who is also looking to find the one in the idyllic settings of romantic and picturesque Italy.

Debbie, who also has sisters Sian-Louise and Sairah, has been encouraged to find love by her three daughters, who are all desperate for her to get the happy ending she so desires. As a mum of three, and a grandmother of four, Debbie wants to find her forever relationship and a knight in shining armour. Family is important to her and she wants someone who equally feels the same.

A history teacher, Debbie is partnered up with Stationery Sales Manager Rob. He is a single father and seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to who she wants to end up with. He doesn't even seem too phased when she reveals that she has a very famous person in her family and that her youngest daughter is Leigh-Anne from Little Mix.

In the clip, Rob asks Debbie how old her daughters are, to which she replies: "32, 30 and 27. My youngest one, she's a singer in a girl band. She's doing really well for herself. Well she's only as famous as you know who she is as such - she's in Little Mix."

He added: "Hold on, I'm an old boy yes, but I know Little Mix. Wow!"

Leigh-Anne has previously spoken of how close she is with her family, particularly her mother Debbie. In fact, she sobbed when she explained how her mother wasn't able to join her at the premiere for her debut film Boxing Day.

"Can I just say, my mum's watching and I know she can't come to the premiere," she said before breaking down in tears and being consoled by her co-star, as she added: "But I love you so much and there'll hopefully be so many more premieres to go to."

Leigh-Anne is now a mother herself, having recently welcomed twins with her fiancé Andre Gray.

*First Dates Hotel airs its third episode on Tuesday September 20.
