Meet the cast Clayton and Christian  

57-year-old Clayton describes himself as ‘pretty effervescent,’ going into the reality series.

The pastoral support officer from Nottingham wants to find a partner with ‘balance in terms of fun,’ as he admits there is a cheeky side to him.

He also confessed that his son would like to see him settle with someone where there is a long-term future.

But he also revealed that he likes intimate dates where the couple can properly speak and get to know each other.

He said: “I like dates where we can hear one another talk.

“I like picnic dates. I like being by water, so a lake or the beach or something like that. A nice basket of food overlooking some water. I think active dates are better for a second date.”

Davina also owns a property said to be worth in excess of £8m, with a Georgian mansion worth £4.3m, a £1.5m St Tropez villa and a £1m Surrey manor in her portfolio.

And she’s released several fitness DVDs and has been the face of cosmetics brand Garnier for many years.

All about Davina McCall

Davina was born on October 16, 1967, in Wimbledon and shot to fame in the 1990s thanks to her work with MTV.

She was raised by her grandparents after her parents split when she was three, before moving in with her dad as a teen.

Davina started her career off as a singer, performing in a band called Lazy Bear, while still at school.

Unhappy with her lack of success in the music industry, she gave up singing and took a job at Models 1 on the men’s desk as a booker.

She then ran a restaurant for two years before briefly moving to Paris as a Moulin Rouge-style cabaret performer.

When she returned to London she worked on the nightclub scene as a hostess.

In 1992, Davina landed her first presenting role on Ray Cokes’ Most Wanted on MTV Europe, but boosted her profile in 1998 as the presenter of Channel 4‘s reality dating game show Streetmate.

She is now fronting ITV’s My Mum, Your Dad, which starts this evening at 9pm.

‘You’ve just got to let it play out’

The show doesn’t flinch from showing how difficult the process of finding love again can really be.

That often involved Davina getting submerged in the rollercoaster ride of emotions the contestants went on — and sometimes getting involved.

She said: “I don’t know if it’s made it to the show, but once I did actually say to the production team, ‘Please, let me just go and talk to this person because they were having a proper crisis’.

“I had to go in and say, ‘We chose you because you are brilliant. Please know that’.

“So I did that once. But really I shouldn’t, you know, you want to go in there and get involved, but actually you’ve got to let it play out. The more you get involved, it’s a mistake.

“And what do I know? I don’t know these people, you’ve just got to let it play out.

“I tell you what was lovely though, people come and go, there’s no evictions.

“It’s not like ‘we’re going to chuck you out’ it’s more a decision of they don’t think they’re gonna find love.

“It’s time to leave. When you’ve exhausted everybody in the house you think ‘I don’t fancy anyone, it’s actually a hard place to be’.”

Despite not trying to get too involved, the presenter did find herself being endeared to many of the contestants, including 58-year-old silver fox widower Roger.

Davina said: “What I love about Roger, and you’ll get to know this as the series goes on, is he always slightly says the wrong thing.

“It’s always a slight overshare, like saying on a date he uses his toothbrush to brush the dog’s teeth. I mean, he’s phenomenal.”

Davina: ‘I’d rather watch a hint of love’

Unlike other reality programmes where you see every gory detail, My Mum, Your Dad allows contestants a litte privacy.

Davina McCall said: “There are no cameras in the bedrooms and I think it’s important to point out that it’s different in that way.

“I’d rather watch the hint of love, a hint of something coming, you know, ‘Should I, shouldn’t I?’ A moment of tenderness, something amazing. That’s so exciting.

“But, like, jumping into bed and shagging . . . it’s sort of like, once you’ve seen it once, it doesn’t mean anything.

“Yeah, this really f***ing means something. When you see people falling and, you know, that this is serious, that’s what’s so lovely.

“This is what sets it apart, it’s that it’s not cynical, it is just about the love. It’s trying to foster an environment where love will flourish, and they did the best job ever.

“You don’t get the big wad of cash at the end. The prize is love.”

Roger’s painful revelation

Postman Roger has revealed his daughters put him up for the show after he lost his wife a year ago.

He said: “She is so thoughtful and it was just a lovely thing for her to say, “Dad, look, we understand that you’re struggling and it’s been hard and we know that you’ve got a lot of love to give and we’re OK if you were to see someone else.”

“I’m going on the show to get some confidence. I must have subconsciously wanted to meet someone by saying yes to the show.” 

Roger describes himself as a “fun, loving, [and] conscientious,” person who is “struggling to get old”. 

Viewers are already ‘obsessed’

Following the opening episode on Monday, fans were already saying they're hooked on the show.

This fan tweeted: “Completely obsessed with #mymumyourdad. Exactly what I thought it was going to be and @ThisisDavina is back in the best presenting role.

“It’s like Love Island and Big Brother rolled into one 🥰Love love love it

My Mum, Your Dad host Davina McCall looks incredible as she flashes her legs in tiny playsuit

Davina McCall stunned as she flashed her legs in a tiny playsuit as My Mum, Your Dad kicked off on ITV1 last night.

The 55 year-old host looked amazing as she made her debut on screen in the highly-anticipated new series.

Davina showed off her enviable pins in a white playsuit as she strutted into the retreat to meet the offspring of the daters.

A dating show with a difference

It was originally touted as the 'middle aged Love Island'.

But unlike the iconic ITV2 series, My Mum, Your Dad focuses on a group of single parents who have been nominated by their kids to find love again.

The mums and dads all live together in a gorgeous country retreat, all in the hope of forging some new relationships and giving them a second chance at finding a partner.
