Davina McCall's dating show 'My Mum, Your Dad' is reportedly returning for second season.
Davina McCall's new dating show My Mum, Your Dad has reportedly been renewed for a second season
The ITV series followed singles in their 40s and 50s looking for love at a retreat in a Surrey mansion and it proved a huge hit with viewers, and now a new report suggests channel bosses are going to be bringing it back for a second run.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "There was just such a warm, positive feeling around the show and everyone was thrilled with the ratings for a launch series.
"Everyone remains very excited to see how the format can develop in future.”
Davina previously insisted she had high hopes for the future of the show and was already thinking up ideas for a second season - with the TV presenter insisting a celebrity version could work.
She told the publication's TVBiz column: "I want to present this show for the rest of my life. A celebrity version would be so good — how many single celebs are there? I’m interviewing now."
She added: "I love watching love blossom, and it blossomed very organically and very slowly and sweetly. I’ve since been sent photos of couples. The show works, I really am Cupid."
The new show was previously described by the host as "Midlife Love Island" but Davina has admitted it's actually a very different concept. According to OK! magazine she recently said: "It’s my fault that it got called 'Midlife Love Island' - that’s what I called it in an email ... I’ve been trying to burn that name ever since! "For me personally speaking, I’d rather watch the hint of love and a moment of tenderness - that’s so exciting. "Jumping into bed and s*******, once you’ve seen it, it doesn’t mean anything. This really means something - when you see people falling in love."
