 Davina McCall hosts new dating show My Mum, Your Dad – better known as Love Island for the middle-aged – which gets underway tonight (September 11). The ITV show will feature single parents nominated by their grown-up offspring, and they'll be thrown together in a luxury £8million Sussex mansion, complete with indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub and tennis courts. What the parents don't know is that their sons and daughters will be secretly watching them. 'Unbeknownst to the parents, their kids will be watching their every move from a nearby location called The Bunker,' ITV explained. The daters will be under constant surveillance and their children will essentially be playing Cupid. So who are the daters? Let's find out. Monique Monique admits she can be a tad tactless (Picture: ITV) Monique, from Winchmore Hill in London, is a therapist. The 50-year-old admits: 'I find it hard to read somebody properly. On a date I'm very honest and that can be quite offensive. 'Dating in my 20s I just wanted to be loved, and I had very poor judgement. I always gave people a chance. Dating now is more about how the person makes me feel in their presence, the memories you can build and whether there's a connection. Monique's daughter, Taiya Taiya wants her mum to be less picky (Picture: ITV) Taiya is 21 and a student from north London. She says: 'Mum's definitely been unlucky in the past. I used to think it was because she was very picky but she hasn't found someone that matches her vibe. 'A lot of the time I do tell her not to be so fussy. She's put everything aside to raise me and my sister for so many years and now is my mum's time.' Sharon Sharon is from Sunderland (Picture: ITV) Sharon, 53, is a welfare officer from Sunderland. She says: 'I've got to a point in my life where my confidence has been knocked down a lot and I've got low self-esteem. 'I like an activity date, Crazy golf, or bowl){kind=link}
