How old is My Mum Your Dad Elliot?

Elliot is 53-years-old and from Essex.

Speaking of dating in his 20s, Elliot said: "In your 20s there’s no inevitability to dating. It’s great, you just date. You date people and sometimes it turns into relationships and sometimes it doesn’t.

"As you get older you know a lot more about what you don’t want and that makes it extremely difficult. People who don’t date past the age of 40 have got no idea what it’s like.

"It’s so different. It was so easy when you were younger as you didn’t think about anything; you had no kids, no responsibilities, you just went out and had fun."

What is My Mum Your Dad Elliot's job?

Elliot is a P.E. teacher and football coach.

He is excited to try something different and thinks My Mum Your Dad is the best way to step out of his comfort zone.

Elliot said: "It’s something different. My life has turned into the same routine of getting up, brushing teeth, going to work, cooking dinner, going to the gym and going to bed. That is kind of it.

"I couldn’t see any real change to that and then this opportunity came up. I don’t know why, but for some reason it’s something I feel I need to do."

What is My Mum Your Dad Elliot's dating history?

Elliot has described his dating history as 'colourful' and has spoken about previous first date experiences.

"Yeah, me - I’m the dating disaster! I’ve been doing renovation on the house and one time this woman was coming over and there was a bathroom shop around the corner that was having a really good sale and I needed to get to it.

"So I took her to that... there was one point I was walking past a sink and I said, ‘I really like this sink’ and I saw myself in the mirror and I saw her face. I just thought, ‘This is probably the worst date she’s ever had, what am I doing?’"
