My Mum, Your Dad fans share excitement as glamorous blonde Janey, 47, makes a surprise arrival to ‘spice things up’

My Mum, Your Dad fans shared their excitement as singer Janey made a surprise arrival during Tuesday night’s show. 

The new series hit screens on Sunday evening and saw eight single parents enter a West Sussex country house in the hopes of finding their second chance at love.

Closing scenes showed the glamorous blonde, 47, as she was driven to the house by her son, Will, 20.

Viewers at home hoped that Janey’s arrival would ‘spice things up’ – especially after dad Roger, 58, admitted that he ‘prefers blondes.’ 

One person shared to Twitter: ‘Oh it’s starting to get juicy with adding new people.’

‘Ok My Mum, Your Dad is spicing up now throwing in a new lady. The OG ladies look fuming,’ another added. 

A third fan wrote: ‘Oh it’s heating up now. They’ll all be jealous of the blonde lady.’

‘Janey’s going to ruffle some feathers,’ another echoed. 

The blonde beauty is singer and recruitment manager who describes herself as ‘fun, kind, outgoing and creative’.

Janey was nominated to take part on the show by her son Will, who will enter the show alongside his mother and join the kids in the bunker to help his mother to find love.

Asked why she thinks her son nominated her, she explained: ‘Because he’s lost all hope for me, he thinks I’m undateable! He wants me to meet someone.’ 

As for what people will make of her on the programme, she mused: ‘I think people might get me wrong at first. 

‘I’m aware I might be judged on how outgoing I might be, and the fact my job is performing. In reality, I could be the most sensitive person there. And I’m emotional. I’m excited to meet someone that sees that side of me.’

Student Will told how he nominated his mother because ‘it’s getting a bit desperate now! We need a good chance of getting her to find someone’.

He added: ‘If it takes me to get involved, then that’s apparently how dire things have got!’ 

Describing his mother’s perfect partner, he said: ‘They’d need to want to dive in the deep end. They need to be confident with me to go and have a day out just the two of us, and to get on with all her friends. 

‘Also someone that’s loving in general, and would put her first.’ 

He sweetly told how he wants his mother to find ‘comfort and peace of mind’ from the dating retreat and admitted she ‘needs to be herself more’.

When asked how he would describe his mother for her dating profile, he said: ‘I’d say an outgoing, chatty lady who is up for a drink!’.

Location: Derbyshire 

Profession: Postman 

How would you describe yourself in a few words? Fun, loving, conscientious, struggling to get old – I don’t want to get old. I lost my wife, I know that you can get up and life can be over in a split second.

Why did your daughter Jess nominate you for MMYD? She’s a lovely girl. Her mum was really thoughtful in everything – she could plan things to a detail – and Jess has got that. She is so thoughtful and it was just a lovely thing for her to say, ‘Dad, look, we understand that you’re struggling and it’s been hard and we know that you’ve got a lot of love to give and we’re OK if you were to see someone else’.

Following my wife passing 18 months ago, I didn’t really want to meet anyone. You don’t expect it to be you and you don’t expect it to be your wife. But I’m going on the show to get some confidence. I must have subconsciously wanted to meet someone by saying yes to the show.

Profession: Social media influencer 

Why did you nominate your mum to go on the show? I feel like it’s finally her time to be happy. I think she’s put herself on the backburner to bring up myself and my sister.

Name: Jess

Age: 28

Location: Derbyshire

Profession: Network rail planner 

Why did you nominate your dad to go on the show? It was a joint thing with my brother and sister and it was our way of basically telling him that we were happy for him to start dating, if that was something he wanted to do. 

It was a cop out on our part really, as it meant we didn’t need to sit down and actually say it. It was a sneaky way of saying, ‘Oh look at this, do you want to look into this?’ Never actually expected anything to come of it.

It was about putting dad first. We’d never really thought about us, or about ourselves in that situation. I wasn’t thinking about how I’d react, I was thinking about him.

The reason for that is he does the same for us, he would always put family first. So it was just a way of saying to him, stop worrying about us. If he wasn’t ready, that was also totally fine. It wasn’t an ultimatum. It was just, if you want to, you can, don’t worry about us.

Name: Zachary

Age: 21

Location: Essex

Profession: University student 

Why did you nominate your dad to go on the show? He deserves a chance to be happy and he hasn’t had that. I want him to have what a lot of his friends have done; get married and settle down. He deserves the opportunity to find the ‘end stages’ of love.

Name: Will

Age: 19

Location: West Sussex

Profession: Student

Why did you nominate your mum to go on the show? It’s getting a bit desperate now! We need a good chance of getting her to find someone.

Name: Jessica

Age: 23

From: Epsom

Profession: Model/ Sales & Marketing/ Mental Health Skills Coaching

Why did you nominate your dad to go on the show? I want him to get out there a bit. He’s been focussed on us kids and his work and not even really thought about the possibility of meeting someone new that he could date or have a relationship with. 

He deserves that and to have someone to do nice things with and have an emotional connection with outside of his kids.
