Fans of ITV's hit show My Mum, Your Dad appeared to share similar complaints as they felt the new series failed to include men and women of a certain size. The popular dating show returned for a brand new series on Monday night (September 16) with presenter Davina McCall at the helm. In the heartwarming experiment, a fresh set of single mums and dads went on a series of dates and got to know each other in a beautiful country abode while under the watchful eyes of their children.
But although most were loving the new season, some fans couldn't help but notice that the show was taking a similar route to Love Island . Pointing out that the show was losing its authenticity, fans headed straight to X to share their thoughts. One viewer said: "I know we wanted a Love Island for the older people, but we also asked for it to be for the 'Normal' people.
All these are older versions of the Love Island Casts. Where’s my size 18 sis and dad bod pappi?" Another echoed: "First series was so wholesome..
. second series- now they know how it works it’s like a grown up Love Island. Big hair, beige, sports jackets and smooth foreheads!" A third questioned: "Will we see any parents over size 12?" While a fourth added: "Where these woman come from? Definitely not from #Tinder #Bumble #Plenttoffish.
Not 1 with body fat. #mymumyourdad." But despite some complaints, fans were also glad the love-matching show was back for a brand new series.
While others couldn't help but complement the catchy soundtrack which consisted of 80s and early 90s hits. Sharing their thoughts on this aspect, one viewer said: "One of the best parts of this show, the tons of 80s songs they play throughout the episodes." Another penned: "Moment of appreciation for the song choices.
" A third added: "This is one of the very few programs I actually like, but...
..outstanding soundtrack!!" Meanwhile, another agreed: "The soundtrack they use for this show is epic.
It's on par with the Gavin & Stacey soundtrack." During the first episode, viewers got a chance to get acquainted with the new set of parents while their children left them to their own devices. Later on in the show, the kids also chose the pairings for the parents' first dates.
