A MUM has revealed her horror after going on a dating show to woo young men… and finding her son was in the line-up.
Charlene DeCicco, 47, was in the market for a younger man after leaving a “toxic marriage” and yearning for a “fresh start”.
But the mum-of-four never could have anticipated that her youngest son was one of the men looking for love with an older woman on the show.
Harrison Bock, 24, was visibly shocked to see his mum standing in front of him when the curtain was dropped.
The mother-and-son duo appeared on TLC’s Milf Manor.
The first season of the show, which aired in January last year, featured eight single women between the ages of 40 and 60 living in a villa in Mexico.
They each flew to South America with hopes to fall in love with a single man several decades younger.
But in the first episode, it was revealed that the eight men were the women's sons.
“I’m feeling very overwhelmed,” Charlene said after discovering this.
“And a little scared.
“Seeing my son standing in that line made me feel very awkward because they’re my son's age.”
Charlene and Harrison both reside in Los Angeles, US.
The single mum has three other children named Ashly, Dara and Nicholas, whom she regularly shares photographs of on social media.
However, Harrison is the most similar to his mum and shares her love for the limelight.
The young model walked at Miami Swim Week in 2019 and thought he was elevating his career when he signed up for filming Milf Manor in 2022.
When he saw Charlene in front of him on the show, all he could muster up was: “That’s my mum right there.”
“I’m like completely shocked,” Charlene recalled.
“I see my son back there and I’m like, ‘who are these guys?’”
The latest season of MILF Manor is currently available to stream in the UK on discovery+.
“Brimming with a whole new group of sexy, successful MILFs who are looking for their chance at love, this season promises one shocking twist and plenty of unexpected twists and turns throughout,” a blurb on it reads.
