“Sometimes things don’t work, sometimes they do.” <\/p>

Davina McCall has revealed some contestants made the decision to leave My Mum, Your Dad<\/a> after realising they weren\u2019t going to find love during the show.<\/p>\n

My Mum, Your Dad is ITV<\/a>\u2018s new reality TV show, but with a slight twist: The new series follows a group of single parents trying their luck with a second chance at finding love.<\/p>\n

Every parent has been nominated by their grown-up child, who will be watching their every move \u2013 so expect pillows in front of faces a lot of the time\u2026<\/p>\n

Viewers will get the chance to see the parents live together at a country house retreat, attempting to find love \u2013 but not all of the participants managed to do that while on the show.<\/p>\n

The series starts on Monday 11th September at 9pm, running on consecutive weeknights for two weeks, and will be hosted by\u00a0McCall<\/a>.<\/p>

When asked about her time spent with the parents on My Mum, Your Dad, the presenter revealed to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press she would often comfort contestants who chose to leave the show.<\/p>\n

Although the ins and outs of how people get to exit the experiment are yet to be revealed, McCall explained the retreat can be a \u201chard place\u201d for those who haven\u2019t found love.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes things don\u2019t work, sometimes they do. People come and go, I can say that much. There are no evictions but it\u2019s more of a decision where [if] they don\u2019t think they\u2019re going to find love, it\u2019s time to leave,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019ve exhausted everybody in the house and you think, \u2018I don\u2019t fancy anyone,\u2019 it\u2019s actually a hard place to be if you know it\u2019s not going to happen and you\u2019re watching everybody else get on with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCall continued: \u201cWhen somebody left, I hung out with them for a bit and had really good chats with them and that\u2019s been super nice. Every single person in there was absolutely lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The host explained at times she wanted to \u201cget involved\u201d in certain parts of My Mum, Your Dad but realised she had to \u201clet it play out\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more you get involved, it\u2019s a mistake. What do I know? I don\u2019t know these people. Their kids will be more likely to go in and give them pep talks, but actually you\u2019ve just got to let it play out,\u201d she said.<\/p>
