My Mum, Your Dad stars Vicky Davies and David McLeod have split, MailOnline can reveal.
The pair’s romance blossomed during the last series of the ITV dating show and they left the retreat as a couple, but broke up shortly afterwards.
But much to the delight of viewers, they rekindled their relationship after the show aired in September as watching the series – dubbed ‘Love Island for mature singletons’ – brought up old feelings and they decided to give things another go.
However, the reality stars quietly called time on their romance in recent weeks and according to pals, parted on good terms and remain close friends.
Davina McCall’s show, which was axed after two series, saw mature singletons date in the hope of finding love again but the twist was that their grownup children were watching in the wings.
Mother-of-three Vicky appeared on the dating show alongside daughter Angharad while David’s movements were watched from behind the scenes by Tiana.

A friend said: ‘They tried to make a real go of it but it wasn’t to be.
‘Both Vicky and David have busy lives and commitments such as family and work, coupled with the distance it was hard to see each other.
‘They appreciate the impact they made on each other’s lives and will always share a special bond.’
Assistant principal Vicky, 50, lives in South Wales while property developer David, 53, is 40 miles away in Bristol.
After getting back together in September, they met each other’s children and spent time at their respective houses.
Vicky described David as ‘different to any man I’ve dated’ and signs were promising they could make things work, before they realised they were better off as friends.
Writing about her relationship with David on Instagram, mother of three Vicky said the pair ‘are very much in each other’s lives. We talk most days and have a really close bond and friendship that we both cherish and so grateful for @mymumyourdaduk for connecting us.’
Following their split, show favourites Jenny Francis, 51, and Danny Wright, 49, are the only couple from series two who are still an item.

Season one couple Janey Smith and Roger Hawes are the show’s biggest success story, with the pair remaining in a happy relationship almost two years after meeting
After spending Christmas together, their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength despite the distance between them, as Danny’s based in Brighton and Jenny lives in Manchester.
The second series of My Mum, Your Dad, hosted by Davina McCall, is likely to be the last for some time after ITV revealed a third series has not been commissioned due to lack of mature male singletons applying to take part.
The show sees a group of single parents try and find love again – all while their children are secretly watching them – and both series have attracted decent ratings.
A source said: ‘Strangely there were lots of stunning women in the 45 to 65 bracket who wanted to take part, but a sad dearth of men who fitted the bill.
‘This was a problem they encountered in 2024 when they tried to make the second series and just about managed to get enough candidates together.
‘But when it came to the third outing they realised it was just going to be too difficult, and decided taking a break might be the best option.’
An ITV spokesperson added: ‘My Mum Your Dad achieved a fantastic audience response across its two series, and the show’s boxsets continue to deliver a strong performance on ITVX.
‘There are currently no plans for a new series in 2025 owing to other priorities in our schedule, but we may revisit the show at some point beyond that.’
