My Mum, Your Dad: What to expect from Davina McCall's 'middle-aged Love Island'
By Annabel RackhamEntertainment reporter
One of The main criticisms aimed at dating show Love Island over The Years has been its lack of diversity.
There have been calls for more realistic standards of beauty for women and men and better race representation.
Viewers have been asking for older contestants too - which is perhaps why ITV has decided it's time for a new format altogether.
My Mum, Your Dad , which is being dubbed The " middle-aged Love Island " will begin airing this autumn.
It will be hosted by Davina Mccall , 55, who says she is " so excited" to be involved in The Show .
What will The Format be?A group of Single Parents who have been put forward by their children (who We Are assured are grown-ups) will be given a chance to find Love Again .
ITV says they have been chosen from across The UK and will have unique life experiences.
Unlike Love Island , instead of a neon beanbag-filled villa in Mallorca or South Africa , they will instead reside in a Country House retreat.
There will be a twist though - The Children who volunteered their parents as contestants will be watching everything nearby and will even get a chance to act as matchmaker.
It means The Children could be directly involved in finding their new stepparents as they choose who their mum or Dad goes on a date with.
How did The Series come about?The Format isn't original to ITV and was actually created by US screenwriter and television producer Greg Daniels and his daughter Haley.
Greg Daniels has worked on Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons and was The co-creator of hit sitcom Parks and Recreation.
Two versions of The Show aired Last Year - One in The US And One in Australia.
