Explaining her dating history, Monique said she finds it hard to read people and likes to give everyone a chance, even if she knows it isn\u2019t quite right. \u201cI\u2019m the eternal optimist when it comes to meeting somebody,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

21-year-old Taiya nominated her mum to go on the show because she thinks she deserves love. \u201cShe\u2019s put everything aside to raise me and my sister for so many years, so I thought now is my mum\u2019s time,\u201d she told ITV.<\/p>\n

Taiya hopes Monique gains \u201ca lot of growth\u201d from the experience, even if she doesn\u2019t meet someone. \u201cI hope she really fine tunes what it is that she wants within a partner and within herself,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

She told ITV: \u201cI think she\u2019s put herself on the backburner to bring up myself and my sister. In the last few years I feel like she\u2019s given up on love, so she didn\u2019t want to try any more.

She told ITV: \u201cI\u2019m a wee bit old-fashioned, I like someone that can fix things and do DIY. I do like a man that can cook, as well! If they can do both \u2013 it\u2019s a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked why she thought her daughter nominated her for the show, Caroline said: \u201cI\u2019ve been single for such a long time, it\u2019s probably the longest I\u2019ve ever been single!

Over the years, Natalie has tried online dating, but it hasn\u2019t worked out for her. \u201cI\u2019ve definitely been catfished before!

\u201cIt was a cop out on our part, really, as it meant we didn\u2019t need to sit down and actually say it. It was a sneaky way of saying, \u2018Oh look at this, do you want to look into this?\u2019 Never actually expected anything to come of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
