A Scottish mum is set to appear on a new ITV dating show that has been billed as a 'spin-off' to Love Island for middle-aged parents to have the opportunity to find love once again, with the series kicking off next week on Monday, September 11.

The reality show, previously called The Romance Retreat, will follow a group of 'middle-aged singletons' hoping to find their match who have already failed to find their forever partner after having children - it has been renamed as 'My Mum, Your Dad'.Television favourite Davina McCall will host the new programme which will take place over 10 days, a much shorter time than your usual Love Island, which has similarities.
