ITV has released exciting new details on My Mum, Your Dad which has been billed as the broadcaster's version of middle-aged Love Island.
The show, previously titled The Romance Retreat, is set to air later this year and will be hosted by Davina McCall. My Mum, Your Dad is described as “a dating show with a difference for the whole family,” and will follow a group of single parents who were put forward by their grown-up children.
However, the series will come with a serious twist as unbeknownst to the parents, their kids will be watching their every move from a nearby location called The Bunker. Their children will watch on in the surveillance room as their parents get a second shot at love, and potentially get to play matchmaker.
Set across 10 hour-long episodes, audiences will be able to follow single parents, from all over the UK as they live together at a stunning country house retreat with one objective: to find true love.
The kids will see their parents in a whole new light as they are presented with opportunities to select who they’ll be matched with on one-to-one dates, and who may join the family celebrations for years to come.
Host Davina said: “Thank goodness the secret is finally out! I’ve been bursting to tell!!! I’m so so excited to host My Mum, Your Dad - this show will have you so invested in the people in it.
"Fascinating, vibrant individuals who have lived incredible lives already, with a million life lessons under their belts, as they search for their perfect life partner. But also with the juiciest twist of any show I’ve ever worked on.”
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality and Acquisitions commented: “My Mum, Your Dad is set to be a relationship show with a difference, as we follow the emotional and inspiring journeys of single parents looking to find love once more.
"Packed full of heart and humour, we’re really excited to be bringing this brand new format to ITV1’s mainstream audience. With Davina at the helm, this will be a grown-up iteration of a series in the dating genre that, thus far, has largely been the preserve of younger viewers.”
