Davina McCall's son Chester finds her 'so embarrassing' as she speaks on dating
Davina McCall has opened up on her son, Chester, 16 finding her "so embarrassing" as she discussed midlife dating ahead of the premiere of My Mum, Your Dad.
The TV presenter is hosting a brand new ITV dating show which sees a group of singletons, that have been nominated by their grown-up children, looking for love. Davina found love again in 2019 with hairdresser Michael Douglas two years after she split from her husband of 17 years, Matthew Robertson.
Speaking to Christine Lampard at a Q&A about the show, Davina revealed that her son will find some moments of the dating show "embarrassing" because it will remind him of his mum.
She said: "It's reframing mid-lifers. Children who enjoy this programme will go 'uh sex, uh!' and then go 'oh my God mum you do that!'. I know my sixteen-year-old son will be laughing his head off and go, 'God, you're so embarrassing, you're just like that. Then, adults will go, 'See!'. Everybody will be able to relate to something on this show."

My Mum, Your Dad will air for two weeks from September, 11 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX. A group of single parents will try and find love again while living together in a country retreat but, unbeknownst to them their children will watch the drama unfold from a nearby location.
The singletons believe they're being matched up by relationship experts, when in fact, their grown-up children will be picking their dates.
Davina explained that although there were moments the children found "mortifying" there will be no sex scenes shown on TV. She said: "There are no cameras in the bedrooms, I think it's important to point out that it is different in that way.
"For me personally speaking, I'd rather watch the hint of love, the hint of something coming, should I shouldn't I, a moment of tenderness - that's so exciting - but jumping into bed with each other sh**ging, once you've seen it once, it doesn't mean anything."
My Mum, Your Dad starts Monday 11th September, 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX. The series will run on consecutive weeknights for two weeks.
