It was an incredible experience and one that we will be forever grateful for taking part in.
'Nat and I had an incredible experience in the retreat and loved every moment, we continued that connection over the summer and had some great times together. Unfortunately in early August we decided to call a day on the relationship. We are both still friends and wish each other the best. Thank you for your continued support and we're very thankful to @davinamccall @itv @mymumyourdaduk for all we gained from the experience❤️'. (sic)

Monique and Martin M
After being nominated for the show by her daughter Taiya, things got off to a slow start for 50-year-old Monique, with the therapist admitting she wasn't attracted to any of the men. However, when new arrivals Martin M and Martin H arrived into the retreat, Monique came into her own! Following a number of dates with the Martins, Monique found herself in a love square alongside fellow contestant Tollulah, but during the final few episodes, Martin M admitted his feelings were strongest for Monique. The pair then enjoyed a final date together, where Monique hinted she'd be happy to move to Ibiza, where Martin lives!
However, following the visit from her daughter Taiya during the final episode, Monique had doubts about Martin's true feelings, later quizzing him about his actions towards her during their time in the retreat.
As fans will know, Monique ended things with Martin during the final episode, admitting she felt they just weren't right for each other. Following the conversation, Martin admitted the experience has taught him to take people's feelings into consideration more. The pair left the retreat as friends.
At the end of October, Janey and Roger chatted to our friends over at Closer Magazine, where they hinted at marriage plans in the future.
Admitting they'd love to grow old together, Roger said “I’m looking forward to growing old and her pushing me around in a wheelchair. I’ve not ruled out getting married again – never say never. I enjoy being with one person and the warmth they bring.”
On the same page, Janey then added: “I haven’t lived with a man for 19 years and I’m fed up with watching Netflix on my own, but we’re not going to put pressure on ourselves. I’ve never been married, and I’ve always said I want to. It is important to me.”
Laughing, Roger then added: “For some reason she really stared at me when she said that…”
Janey and Roger appeared on the first ever series of ITV/STV's brand new dating show My Mum, Your Dad, which saw middle-aged singletons be nominated for the show by their grown-up children.
After Roger sadly lost his wife to cancer, his daughter Jess nominated him to appear earlier this year, whilst Janey's son Will put her forward.
As fans will know, the format of the series saw the children acting as 'relationship experts' as they guided their parents through the experiment. Following two weeks together in a retreat, both Jess and Will gave their blessing to Roger and Janey's relationship.
Series one of My Mum, Your Dad is available to watch on ITVX and STV Player now.
