ITV announces title of 'middle-aged Love Island' hosted by Davina McCall

ITV has confirmed the title of a much-awaited dating show that has been described as a "middle-aged Love Island". Presented by former Big Brother host Davina McCall, the new reality show will follow a group of single parents from all over the UK and all walks of life hoping for a second shot at love.

But what the contestants don't know is that their grown-up children, the ones who nominated them to appear on the show, will be playing Cupid the whole time as they watch their every move. Brought to viewers by ITV Studios' Lifted Entertainment, the broadcaster's upcoming reality offering is going to differ vastly in location to Love Island.

Whilst the young singletons of Love Island sun themselves in a Majorcan villa all summer, the parent-focused series will be set in the rolling hills of the English countryside. The romantic retreat that will serve as a matchmaking base for over-35s has already been dubbed the "Viagra House" by local residents in West Sussex, The Mirror reports.
