My Mum Your Dad is on ITV all week and viewers are loving it.
The new series, fronted by Davina McCall, has previously been billed as “Middle-Age Love Island”, but instead of jetting off to a luxury villa in the heart of Majorca, the cast – made up of single mums and dads – head to a spacious country house retreat in the English countryside in she hopes to find love thanks to her children who are having fun.

Who is the star of My Mummy Your Daddy Janey and what is her job?
Janey is a 47-year-old recruitment manager and singer. The contestant, who hails from West Sussex, appears on the show with her 19-year-old son Will.
Janey talked about her past dating experiences and what she expects in the future. “I’ve matured and I know that what I used to pursue doesn’t suit me now. It sounds like a cliché, but it’s not about looks and material things, that’s so irrelevant. Now I’m looking for a best friend who I like!”

Janey also shared with ITV how her job affects how she is perceived. “I think people might misunderstand me at first. I’m aware that they might judge me based on how open I am and the fact that my business works well,” she said. “In reality, I might be the most sensitive person out there. And I’m emotional. I’m excited to meet someone who sees that side of me.”

Another added: “#MyMumYourDad is so good I loved it.” A third, meanwhile, said: “I don’t normally like shows like this but I’m really hooked on this. It’s great to see older people coming out – my only pet hate is that none of them are normal looking parents, they’re all stunning!!!! # MyMomYourDad.”
A fourth said: “It’s not something I’d normally watch but I really enjoy the show, it’s very relatable. It shows that we all go through good and very traumatic relationships and build walls that a lot of people can’t break through but there is hope #MyMumYourDad.” ”
