Davina McCall wants to turn My Mum, Your Dad into a business for 'overlooked divorced women'

TV favourite Davina McCall has caught the entrepreneurial bug, hatching grand plans to turn her smash-hit series 'My Mum, Your Dad' into a booming business.

The 56 year old TV sensation, already dazzling viewers as the face of the ITV dating show for the middle-aged that airs on Monday (16.09.24) night, is keen on cashing in on Cupid's arrow by spinning the series concept into lucrative love-seeking retreats. Speaking with her usual blend of enthusiasm and candour, she was quoted by The Sun confessing: "We should actually do 'My Mum, Your Dad' retreats as a commercial venture."

Not one to sit out on potential love connections, she admitted: "I would have a go if I wasn't in a relationship." The programme delves deep as participants confront their past, with Davina noting in The Sun: "It's such a great place where you go and you learn. You come with a lot of baggage and they do so much work on themselves."

The format casts mature parents, pushed by their offspring, into the romantic spotlight at a charming rural getaway, complete with a brand-new 'Intimacy Den' a space for private moments away from prying eyes and camera lenses. Davina, in heartfelt revelations to the Daily Mail, shared her personal resonance with the shows aim to reignite love later in life, drawing parallels with her own blossoming relationship with 50 year old beau and celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas.

Getting personal, she confided: "I said [to him], 'You know, it's amazing we got together at this stage of life because I don't know if I would be with anybody if we hadn't got together. We should actually do 'My Mum, Your Dad' retreats as a commercial venture. I would have a go if I wasn't in a relationship. It's such a great place where you go and you learn. You come with a lot of baggage and they do so much work on themselves.

She said: "I think women are much happier to be alone later in life but it's quite sad. "Sometimes for women who get divorced, they don't get invited to dinners, or they get overlooked as they are not in a couple any more. They are a single woman and that just magnifies your loneliness. I think for famous women it's quite hard. You can't do the apps, so how do you meet people? I didn't have to do that because I knew Michael I had known him for 20 years. I probably would be off to join a dance class God knows what I would be doing."
