Presented by Davina McCall , the show sees a series of single parents arrive at a retreat in order to give love another go. However, in an unexpected twist, their children are watching their every move from nearby.
Despite the concept being rather unusual, the first series of the show proved successful. 12 months since it hit our screens, Roger Hawes and Janey Smith are still together and are as loved up as ever . But their romance isn’t the only thing that got series one viewers talking last year - so did the song choices that aired over certain scenes.
The show, which is focused on the middle-aged generation, played a number of 80s classics to keep in touch with the theme during its first series. From songs such as Free Fallin by Tom Petty to The Power of Love by Huey Lewis, the dating programme was full of the classics. It caught the attention of the new viewers at home, and they flocked to social media to share their love of the choices as one person on X said: “Started watching #MyMumYourDad and I’m sorry but the SONG CHOICES? Absolute bops.
” Another tweeted: “Already prefer the song choices on this show than Love Island #MyMumYourDad.” Someone else commented: “I have to say the person who selected the music for the show has done a brilliant job - every track so far has been banging. No pun intended.
” “This show wins just on the music used in the first 15 minutes. It’s a big “yeah we did it better” from the producers #MyMumYourDad,” wrote another fan. Another said: “Whoever was in charge of music on #MyMumYourDad needs a rise!! @ITV.
” The show's social media account also got in on the music love as they asked: “Who's already had a little singalong to the show?” That tweet soon caught the attention of their fans, and it quickly brought in the likes. The show is set in a luxurious country mansion which has a swimming pool and a tennis court, as well as several glamorous indoor areas. It is hoped that the programme will bring in the older generation of viewers as nine men and women who are in their 40s and 50s look to find the love of their life.
They have been put forward for the show by their children, but what they don't know is that their children will be watching their every move from a viewing room. That's not the only twist, as the children will also have some say in some of the decisions that impact their parents throughout the two weeks. The children will be able to have a say in who their parents date and who they are matched with before being reunited with them at the end of the break.
