ITV’s My Mum, Your Dad has been axed, according to reports.
The dating show for single parents - hosted by Davina McCall - had been set to return for filming in the spring but won’t go ahead now due to a lack of male applicants.
The programme has been put on the back burner and it’s hoped that there will be a wider pool of possible contestants for producers to choose from in 2026.
A source told the Sun: "Strangely there were lots of stunning women in the 45 to 65 bracket who wanted to take part, but a sad dearth of men who fitted the bill.
"This was a problem they encountered in 2024 when they tried to make the second series and just about managed to get enough candidates together.
"But when it came to the third outing they realised it was just going to be too difficult, and decided taking a break might be the best option."
