TV presenter Davina McCall previously saw her dating show Language of Love axed after just one series – so it’s a good job My Mum, Your Dad is coming back soon!
Reports claim Language of Love was dropped by Channel 4 after failing to bring in the viewers.
The series aired in 2022 and featured hopeful singletons looking to find ‘The One’. However, in a cheeky twist, the contestants didn’t speak the same language as each other and were forced to see if the chemistry was enough.
Despite wanting to follow in the footsteps of First Dates and Love Island, the show failed to be a hit. The dating show finale episode apparently only pulled in 200,000 viewers.
Language of Love axed
The Masked Singer star Davina presented the dating show Language of Love alongside Spanish co-host Ricky Merino. The show aimed to discover if love could blossom over language barriers in the new Channel 4 series. Yet viewers weren’t hooked.
In fact, the show didn’t prove to be a hit and won’t see a second series, according to reports. A source told The Sun: “Channel 4 thought that Language Of Love had all the ingredients to be a hit. Especially with Davina at the helm.
“But unfortunately the premise didn’t seem to strike a chord with the public. It was unable to generate a lot of engagement on social media and it then lost steam as the series went on. So there are no current plans for another series.
“But it was an entertaining experiment and the central format is quite repeatable, so Language Of Love might end up living to see another day.”
Entertainment Daily! has contacted reps for Davina and Channel 4 for comment at the time.
