My Mum, Your Dad viewers are in for a shock when they reach episode four of the second series as Paul Edwards from last year returns for a second chance at love.

Paul is the last single parent to enter the house this year, and will make a great return alongside his daughter Mazey in the fourth episode of the new series, airing on Thursday, 19th September.

In the episode, the mums and dads sit down to enjoy some dinner when there is an unexpected ring at the door, which Vicky answers to find none other than My Mum, Your Dad participant Paul, 49, from series one.

Speaking to the cameras, Paul and his 22-year-old daughter Mazey explain why he is returning to the show.

"Last year I was completely out of my comfort zone, but it was a great experience," Paul explained before adding that being back in the Surrey mansion "feels like a dream".

Paul told the cameras that he is still single, before reflecting on the end of his romance with Natalie, who he left the show with last year. He explained that it simply "didn't work out," before adding that Natalie is a "lovely person" but that they "just weren't compatible."

After series one of My Mum, Your Dad finished airing in 2023, Natalie took to her Instagram to share the sad news that she and Paul were no longer together.

She wrote: "It has been a very bitter sweet week for me. We ended in August so I have had some time to process things before the show aired. It was weird watching it back and seeing the hope and excitement that I had definitely has brought up feelings again.

"I also have some stuff going on outside of this experience so I am not ignoring your messages I will respond I just need a few days to decompress and I will catch up with you soon."

She added: "I am gutted it didn't work out, I think it was evident to see the hope that was on my face. I am gutted but I'll never regret it."
