Martin H broke down in tears during an emotional episode of My Mum, Your Dad on Wednesday.
Tolullah has been caught up in a love triangle between the two Martin’s, but made the decision to focus on Martin M, who she felt she had a stronger connection with.
Unfortunately, Martin M had already made the decision to continue dating Monique and cut things off with Tollulah.
During the new episode, the parents took part in another emotional workshop, where they were each given a meaningful word from their children – without knowing it was a message from them.
Martin H held back tears as he said: ‘My word is deserving. I want to go forward, I don’t want to look back. The martin I can see in the future is deserving.

He continued: ‘I will always first and foremost be a dad, I believe I’ve done it well, they all seem to like me, but I came in here with some doubts about myself.
Starting to cry, Martin added: ‘I have a catalogue of failed relationship including a 25 year marriage.
‘I’m always going to be told no and be the kid who doesn’t get the girl. But I’ve now learned maybe I am worthy.’
Viewers were disappointed with Tolullah’s choice and gushed over Martin H on Twitter, saying he ‘deserves better’.
One wrote: ‘Aww, Martin H what a guy! These women are just fools!’

In the last couple of episode’s, viewers have seen Martin M flirt with both Monique and Tolullah, with the children questioning why he is using the same chat up lines for both women.
The love triangle formed after Monique cut a possible relationship off with Martin H because she felt sparks were flying with other Martin instead.
But since Martin M couldn’t decide if he preferred Monique or Tolullah, some of the parents and children thought his recent actions have been questionable.
When Janey asked openly to the group what they thought of Martin M’s decisions, Natalie thought he has been leading Monique and Tolullah on.
‘I’m not saying he is leading anyone on, but the way I hear Mon and Tolullah talking about their interactions with him, I think both of them feel like there is attention towards both of them’, she said:
Janey added: ‘They’re both not going to take any nonsense.’
Natalie continued: ‘Yeah… he is playing with the wrong two women!’
Roger then said: ‘He is playing game’.
But, during Martin H and Tolullah’s date, things went from strength to strength since they shared a sweet kiss.
Jessica and Georgia-Blue, Martin H and Tolullah’s children, were able to see the whole date and gave instructors to the bar tender through an earpiece of what to say to the pair.

It comes after Tuesday’s episode saw the children choose two parents to leave the retreat who haven’t made a successful connection during their time on the show.
Caroline and Clayton were the first to leave the dating show and were gobsmacked upon finding out that their children have been watching their whole time on the show.
Upon reflection of Caroline’s time on the show, her daughter Karli said: ‘She went in there and she was herself, obviously things didn’t work out with her and Roger but I’m so proud of her and I think she’s gained so much confidence from it.

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.

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.

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.
Name: Georgia-Blu
Age: 28
Location: London
Profession: Chartered Accountant
Why did you nominate your mum to go on the show? I think my mum is such a good catch. Growing up, I’ve never really seen her in a really long settled relationship and that’s something I’ve always wanted for her.
I nominated her so she would get a chance to meet someone who she can settle down with, she really deserves it.
