One of the stars of the ITV dating show, My Mum, Your dad has opened up about appearing on the programme with her daughter and how she found it 'emotional' as a parent
Maria, star of the ITV dating show My Mum, Your Dad, has opened up about her experience on the programme ahead of its return to our screens on Monday, 16 September. The 51 year old and her daughter Livia, 19, are set to appear in the second series of the show, often referred to as 'middle-aged Love Island '.
"For me anyway, I'd watched it last year and I just thought, what an amazing opportunity to get to go with your kids. They get to watch you navigate a new environment and build friendships," she explained. She then confessed that she hadn't anticipated getting emotional on national television. "I know some people say 'Oh you've gone on national television and done it', but, I mean, I wasn't expecting that. I didn't think I'd be going on ITV and shedding tears, no way! But, it's such an incredible show."
Maria, the Surrey-based events coordinator and radio presenter, opened up about her love life post-divorce. Despite being on the dating scene for some time since her 16-year marriage ended, she expressed frustration, mentioning that as she celebrated her 50th birthday, there was just "nobody she liked".
