ITV Cancels My Mum, Your Dad Dating Show

ITV has announced the cancellation of its dating show 'My Mum Your Dad' after two successful series, primarily due to a shortage of male contestants. The show, hosted by Davina McCall, aimed to help single parents find love while their children observed from a separate room. Despite its popularity and positive audience response, ITV confirmed there are no plans for a new series in 2025 but left the door open for a potential revival in the future. Speculation suggests that while there were many interested women aged 45 to 65, there was a significant lack of male participants, which hindered the production of a third series. ITV's spokesperson acknowledged the strong performance of the show's boxsets on ITVX, indicating its continued appeal. The cancellation comes as a disappointment to fans, particularly given the successful relationships that emerged from the show.
