My Mum, Your Dad cast

Tolullah

Age: 50

Location: London

Job: Design consultant/journalist

Journalist Tolullah, 50, joins the show along with her daughter Georgia-Blu, as Georgia thought that her mum could do with a little help when it comes to picking a man.

"She felt it’d be really good for me to meet someone that somebody else has picked, as opposed to my own choices. I’ve just turned 50, so she felt this was a good time and an important stage in my life where she could take that control out of my hands and let someone else try," Tolullah said ahead of her My Mum, Your Dad debut.

Georgia-Blu

Age: 28

Location: London

Job: Chartered accountant

Georgia-Blu is hoping for her mother Tolullah to meet someone who she can enjoy a long-term relationship with, saying: "I think my mum is such a good catch. Growing up, I've never really seen her in a really long settled relationship and that's something I've always wanted for her. I nominated her so she would get a chance to meet someone who she can settle down with, she really deserves it."

Martin M

Age: 53

Location: Derby, lives in Ibiza

Job: Property developer

Martin M is looking for a woman who is on the same page as him, saying: "I’ve always struggled meeting people who are on my wavelength. So, I thought, if they’re going to line up several single ladies, I’m in. What’s not to like?"

However, when it comes to committing, he's struggled in the past.

"I tend to go for powerful, intelligent, driven women, which usually means we end up competing with each other. I have difficulty committing, I still want to be that Peter Pan. Commitment-phobe? Maybe so. I don’t want to close any doors."

His son Luke brought him on the show, advising him to "be yourself".

"‘Be yourself, enjoy yourself. Enjoy the uniqueness of the situation.’ Luke was good, he took me by surprise. He said, ‘Be natural and hopefully you’ll find someone.’"

Luke

Age: 18

Location: Ibiza

Job: Bartender

Luke describes is dad Martin M as: "Loving, caring, busy, loves the attention, loves to go out and do stuff. He loves Ibiza! He loves meeting new people. He’s always interested in you and if there’s a connection there, always has lots of questions. He loves to explore and go on holiday. He gets very emotionally attached."

Martin H

Age: 56

Location: Birmingham, lives in Epsom

Job: Retired basketball player, sports presenter and MD

Martin H was nominated by his daughter Jessica in a bid to get her dad out of the dreaded "friend zone".

Speaking of his dating history, Martin said ahead of the show: "Using the old fashioned marking system, I’d have got a C for effort and a D for delivery.

"I’ve dated, I was a professional sports person for 15 years, I studied in the US on a basketball scholarship, so I’ve been exposed to the dating life for a long time, but I’ve never been very good at it. I’m a serial monogamist."

Jessica

Age: 23

Location: Epsom

Job: Model/Sales and marketing/Mental health skills coach

Jessica nominated her dad, Martin H, because she wants him to "get out there a bit", admitting his focus has been mainly on his children over the years.

"He’s been focussed on us kids and his work and not even really thought about the possibility of meeting someone new that he could date or have a relationship with. He deserves that and to have someone to do nice things with and have an emotional connection with outside of his kids," she said.

Monique

Age: 50

Location: Winchmore Hill

Job: Therapist/Student

Monique was nominated by her daughter Taiya for My Mum, Your Dad as she is ready to dip her toes back in the pool of dating and is trying to connect with someone.

Ahead of her appearance on the series, Monique told ITV she is hoping to meet someone handsome, tall and who makes her heart flutter. She said: "I don't like pastries, so we don't do flakes!"

Explaining her dating history, Monique said she finds it hard to read people and likes to give everyone a chance, even if she knows it isn't quite right. "I'm the eternal optimist when it comes to meeting somebody," she said.

Taiya

Age: 21

Location: North London

Job: Student

21-year-old Taiya nominated her mum to go on the show because she thinks she deserves love. "She's put everything aside to raise me and my sister for so many years, so I thought now is my mum's time," she told ITV.

Taiya hopes Monique gains "a lot of growth" from the experience, even if she doesn't meet someone. "I hope she really fine tunes what it is that she wants within a partner and within herself," she explained.

Sharon

Age: 53

Location: Sunderland

Job: Safeguarding and welfare officer in education

Sharon is looking forward to taking a step out of her comfort zone on My Mum, Your Dad, all while hoping to meet someone special and form new friendships.

Although she was quite shocked at first by her daughter's decision to nominate her for the show, Sharon thought it was "amazing" her daughter thought she deserved an opportunity like this.

Tia

Age: 24

Location: Sunderland

Tia hopes Sharon "has the best time". She nominated her mother for My Mum, Your Dad as she felt it was "finally her time to be happy".

She told ITV: "I think she's put herself on the backburner to bring up myself and my sister. In the last few years I feel like she's given up on love, so she didn't want to try any more. I hope putting her forward will be the push she needs to put herself first."

Caroline

Job: Tech advisor/Scan assistant at a private baby clinic

She told ITV: "I'm a wee bit old-fashioned, I like someone that can fix things and do DIY. I do like a man that can cook, as well! If they can do both - it's a bonus."

When asked why she thought her daughter nominated her for the show, Caroline said: "I've been single for such a long time, it's probably the longest I've ever been single! I've always been quite happy being single but I think she thought, 'Mum, you need to get out there!'"

Karli

Age: 20

Location: South Lanarkshire

Job: Flight attendant

Karli nominated her mother for the show because she was single "for a while" and doesn't seem to have much luck when it comes to dating.

"She's a bad judge of character. All the guys she's been with before have been liars and cheats! She doesn't get out much either," Karli told ITV.

Karli hopes her mum will try to put herself out there more and meet new people while on My Mum, Your Dad.

Natalie

Over the years, Natalie has tried online dating, but it hasn't worked out for her. "I've definitely been catfished before! I turned up and the person on the date and the person in the photo - well, let's say they had some serious photographic skills," she told ITV.

I don't think there's anything nicer than that, really."

Mazey

Age: 21

Location: Bath

Job: University student

Clayton

Age: 57

Location: Nottingham

Job: Pastoral support officer

"Fun, cheeky and energetic" Clayton is looking to find someone who is physically attractive and family-orientated. He is excited to be on My Mum, Your Dad and do something with his son.

When asked why he thought his song nominated him for the show, Clayton said: "He felt it's come to a point where I've taken a bit of a time out for a while, in searching for love or having a date.

"He'd like to see me settled with someone I could have a future with. He's probably thinking, 'Dad's been on his own for the last year and a half,' and he wants to re-light that fire."

Christian

Job: Graphic artist/Warehouse employee

Christian nominated his dad to go on the show because he wants him to settle down and find the right person. "I want him to live life with someone," he told ITV.

Jess

Age: 28

Location: Derbyshire

Job: Network rail planner

When asked why she nominated her dad to go on the show, Jess said: "It was a joint thing with my brother and sister and it was our way of basically telling him that we were happy for him to start dating, if that was something he wanted to do.

"It was a cop out on our part, really, as it meant we didn't need to sit down and actually say it. It was a sneaky way of saying, 'Oh look at this, do you want to look into this?' Never actually expected anything to come of it."

Jess hopes her dad will find someone with a sense of humour, good family values and someone who is caring and kind.

Elliott

Age: 53
