My Mum, Your Dad Stars Get Engaged!

My Mum, Your Dad stars Janey Smith and Roger Hawe have announced they're engaged, three years after they met on the show.

The reality series, which aired for two series before being axed in 2024, saw adult children encourage their single parents to have another go at finding love.

Janey and Roger have proven to be the show's biggest success story, and on Friday, they shared the happy news that they are set to tie the knot.

Sharing a loved up snap together on Instagram, Janey showed off her stunning engagement ring with the caption: 'Dreams do come true … x.'

A second snap then offered a glimpse at Roger's sweet proposal, as his dog wore a collar with the words: 'Will you marry my daddy?'

Roger was put forward to appear on My Mum, Your Dad by his daughter Jess, after he became a widower, when his first wife passed away a couple of years earlier.  

Janey appeared on the show with her son Will, with all of the parents living in a stunning country house while their children secretly watched on, and played matchmaker.

On the show, Roger stole the nation's heart after telling how the mother of his three children Joanne went to sleep on the sofa and never woke up.

The widower told how Joanne had been irritated by a small spot behind her ear while on a family holiday. She was later diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer which quickly spread to her brain.

Speaking on the show, Roger described his struggles with grief, saying: 'You hit the nail on the head with me just carrying resentment against cancer. It took me wife's breast and it wasn't happy with that. Then it took her life.'

On whether Joanne would be happy with Roger going on the dating show, the widower said: 'Jo knew me inside out, we knew what each other was thinking so she wouldn't be surprised in anything I do or say.

'She'd be like, ''Oh my god, I knew you'd be like this''. She wouldn't be surprised in the least.'

Prior to meeting Roger, long-term single mum Janey suffered trust issues as a result of being adopted, and after almost two decades of disastrous dating had developed a habit of pushing people away. 

In 2024, the couple said appearing on My Mum, Your Dad was 'the best thing anybody could have done for them.'

Roger told Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine: 'When Janey and I met, it was like a perfect storm. We were two lost souls and we just connected straight away.

'I never expected to come out of it with another life partner. I'd never watched reality TV, so I didn't even know the term ''reality TV couple''.

'But now it's so nice to wake up and look forward to the day and not dread it. My daughter Jess nominated me for the show. I think it's the best thing anybody could have done for me. We'll forever be in her debt.'

Janey said: 'I would love to get married. I just wanted to have children, be married and sing. So I've done two of them.'

The engagement comes just weeks after Janey was rushed to hospital, and was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix which led to a nasty infection.

She wrote on Instagram: 'They did a CT scan straight away and found my appendix had blown and needed surgery asap.

'I was in hospital for a week as the infection had filled my stomach.'

My Mum, Your Dad was broadcast for two series before being shelved by ITV in 2024, with sources blaming the axe on a lack of older men willing to take part.
