is returning for a new series, with another line-up of single parents hoping for a second chance at love. The ITV show, a different take on for the older generation, debuted last year with TV presenter on hosting duty. It went down a storm with viewers and it has now been confirmed that a second series will premiere on Monday (16 September).

But who are the next crop of middle-aged love-seekers? Hailing from West Sussex, 53-year-old Clare is a volunteer charity worker. "I absolutely loved the last series, I thought it was really heartwarming and relatable," she said of My Mum, Your Dad. "I've come to a crossroads in my life, I have an empty nest, I've been a full-time mum for 26 years so this is a big change.

I'd love to be in a relationship, it needs to be about me now." Her daughter Aimee, 26, describes Clare as "super kind", "caring", "sporty" and "a really good listener". South Staffordshire property investor (and dog owner) Andy, 50, is ready to put himself first after caring for his elderly parents and two daughters.

He's hoping to meet "someone who will engage with you mentally, appeals to you physically and is there for you emotionally". According to his student daughter Issy's perspective, Andy needs a partner who has older children of their own - preferably "someone who's already content with their life as it is and can bring that to my dad's life. That's such an important thing in relationships that you are both content without one another as you are together".
