Davina McCall will return to our screens on Monday night (September 11) for brand new dating series, My Mum, Your Dad. The TV presenter will host the ITV series, which has been dubbed ‘middle aged Love Island’.

The show will see the group of single parents from across the UK placed into the villa to live together as they try to find their perfect match. But in a classic reality TV twist - they won’t be alone.
