My Mum, Your Dad is the new dating show for single parents hitting TV screens on 11th September, with Davina McCall as host.
The show - previously dubbed 'Love Island' for middle-aged singletons – will take place over 10 days in hour-long episodes where single parents will get a second chance at love.
The twist is that their children will be playing matchmaker behind the scenes, and watching as their parents start dating again.
Meet the single parents and children set to appear on the new show:
Monique
Age: 50
From: Winchmore Hill
Job: Therapist and student
Self-description: Kind-hearted, a believer in God and positive. I radiate love!
Looking to meet: Someone handsome and tall. Someone who makes my heart flutter! And someone who knows exactly what he wants. I don’t like pastries, so we don’t do flakes!
Monique's daughter: Taiya
Age: 21
From: North London
Job: Student
Reason for nominating mum: I nominated my mum because I think she deserves love! She’s put everything aside to raise me and my sister for so many years so I thought now is my mum’s time.
Sharon
Age: 53
From: Sunderland
Job: Safeguarding and welfare officers in education
Self-description: Fun, genuine, personable.
Looking to meet: Somebody who has the same morals, the same qualities, the same aspirations and goals.
Sharon's daughter: Tia
Age: 24
From: Sunderland
Job: Social media influencer
Reason for nominating mum: I feel like it’s finally her time to be happy. I think she’s put herself on the backburner to bring up myself and my sister. In the last few years I feel like she’s given up on love, so she didn’t want to try anymore. I hope putting her forward will be the push she needs to put herself first.

Caroline's daughter: Karli
Age: 20
From: South Lanarkshire
Job: Flight attendant
Reason for nominating mum: She was single for a while and she doesn’t seem to have any luck with guys. So I thought why not?
Natalie
Age: 44
From: Bournemouth
Job: Self-esteem and relationship recovery coach
Self-description: Adventurous, deep and outgoing.
Looking to meet: I have got a list on my phone to help me manifest all the qualities and characteristics I respect and appreciate in someone. I have read it out to a few people and they say, ‘You’re waiting for the second coming of Jesus, aren’t you?’
Natalie's son: Kaliel
Age: 20
From: Bournemouth
Job: Gas and plumbing apprentice
Reason for nominating mum: I wanted her to find someone and be happy. I saw it advertised and I thought it would be perfect for her.
Paul
Age: 47
From: London, living in Bath
Job: Owner of a decorating company
Self-description: Very chilled, laid back and loyal.
Looking to meet: Someone that’s interesting and a strong character. I like someone to question me and challenge me.
Paul's daughter: Mazey
Age: 21
From: Bath
Job: University student
Reason for nomination dad: I want to see him settled. The way he was dating before wasn’t working. I wanted him to date outside of the box.
Clayton
Age: 57
From: Nottingham
Job: Pastoral support officer
Self-description: I’m pretty effervescent. I’m all about balance in terms of fun - I’d say there’s a cheeky side to me. I’m pretty energetic. I’m straight-talking as well.
Looking to meet: I’m looking for someone who I find physically attractive - I won’t make any excuses for that - but also someone that’s family orientated. We have a lot of gatherings and BBQs.
Clayton's son: Christian
Age: 35
From: Nottingham
Job: Graphic artist/warehouse employee
Reason for nominating dad: I just want him to settle down, find the right person - he’s getting on now! I want him to live life with someone. I want him to travel with someone and get out there.
Roger
Age: 58
From: Derbyshire
Job: Postman
Self-description: Fun, loving, conscientious, struggling to get old - I don’t want to get old. With what’s happened to me, I lost my wife, I know that you can get up and life can be over in a split second. People talk about it, but I’ve actually seen it.
Looking to meet: A sense of humour is massively important and finding common ground. Kindness and just generally being a nice person.
Roger's daughter: Jess
Age: 28
From: Derbyshire
Job: Network rail planner
Reason for nomination dad: It was a joint thing with my brother and sister and it was our way of basically telling him that we were happy for him to start dating, if that was something he wanted to do.
Elliott
Age: 53
From: Essex
Job: PE teacher and football coach
Self-description: My son would say I am good fun, easy going (I’m not easy going).
Looking to meet: Someone that matches my traits and makes up for my inadequacies and hopefully I can make up for theirs as well.
Elliott's son: Zachary
Age: 21
From: Essex
Job: University student
Reason for nominating dad: He deserves a chance to be happy and he hasn’t had that. I want him to have what a lot of his friends have done; get married and settle down. He deserves the opportunity to find the ‘end stages’ of love.
Janey
Age: 47
From: West Sussex
Job: Singer/ recruitment manager
Self-description: Fun, kind, outgoing and creative.
Looking to meet: Someone like myself really! Funny, kind, loyal and is looking for their forever person.
Janey's son: William
Age: 19
From: West Sussex
Job: Student
Reason for nomination mum: It’s getting a bit desperate now! We need a good chance of getting her to find someone. If it takes me to get involved, then that’s apparently how dire things have got!
