My Mum, Your Dad has been described as "dating show with a difference for the whole family. However,  the new series will also come with a shocking twist.

ITV explained: "Unbeknownst to the parents, their kids will be watching their every move from a nearby location called ‘The Bunker’. It is there in the surveillance room that they’ll be able to witness all the action of their parents’ journeys to find love, plus get the opportunity to play matchmaker and decide their mum or dad’s dating fate."
