“Loved it so much that I moved straight on to My Mum, Your Dad Australia on @itvx (which is also TV gold),” wrote one eager fan.
Another added: “Ooh going to watch the Australian one, thank you I didn’t know there was more than one.”
However, someone else added: “Watching My Mum, Your Dad Australia and this is brutal – the parents are well bitchy and judgemental! So different from the UK version. There’s gonna be a riot!!”
The fortnight of UK drama came to a suspenseful climax on Friday night, with the final twist to the story revealed to the parents – that their children had been watching them the whole time and were ready to give their opinion on their new romance.
