A COUPLE who found love on My Mum, Your Dad have suddenly split up.
Vicky Davies and David McLeod found love in each other on Davina McCall‘s dating show.
Falling in love with one another on the hit ITV series, the couple left fans swooning over their blossoming romance.
Fans were then devastated when the pair broke up shortly afterwards, and then they were filled with joy again when they rekindled their romance after the show aired.
Deciding to rekindle their relationship last September, things didn't last long for the pair now it has been reported that they have split.
“They tried to make a real go of it but it wasn't to be,” a friend of the couple revealed to MailOnline today.
“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.”
Mother-of-three Vicky appeared on the dating show alongside daughter Angharad as she attempted to find love.
David appeared on the show with his daughter Tiana as he tried to find love.
FANS PREDICTED SPLIT
Vicky, 50, works as an assistant principal in South Wales.
Meanwhile, property developer David, 53, is from Bristol, which is 40 miles away.
Although fans adored the pairing when the series aired, many didn't think they'd go the distance.
“In the words my old man used to say ‘I’ll give them a week' regarding Vicky and David,” said one person on X at the time.
Another added: “David making it up as he goes along, like being in an interview you try to wing.”
A third remarked: “I’m just not feeling the love from David.. lovely man but a tad emotionally stunted.. sorry guys!”

Christian: “I think the biggest thing they’ll learn is that I put on a shield of jovial and lightheartedness but underneath I'm sensitive. I don’t let people see that usually.”;
David: “I’m looking for a strong, independent woman. I need somebody whereby we feed off of each other, who matches the qualities that I’ve got!”;
Maria:“There’s no time pressure now and you get to that age where you think why would I want to put up with somebody that gets onmynerves? I don’t have to!”;
Andy:“Ideally, I’m looking for someone who will engage with me mentally, appeals to me physically and is there for me emotionally!”;
Clare: “My love language is physical touch so someone that’s cuddly and tactile that makes me laugh and who’s a warm and kind person.”;
Vicky: “I’ve been having no luck in trying to find someone myself. If there’s a room of people, I always tend to go for the one person I shouldn’t!”;
Jenny: “I have exhausted everything, if I couldn’t have got onto My Mum, Your Dad, there was literally nothing left.”;
Danny: “I’m hoping to meet someone that likes me. I don’t have to tick boxes. I'm just looking for someone who likes me back.”;
And someone else chimed in: “I don’t think David is ready for a relationship. He seems emotionally contained, he’s not relaxed, easygoing.”
SHELVED SHOW
The hit show, headed up by Davina, was shelved earlier this year due to a nationwide shortage of hot middle-aged men.
A new series of My Mum, Your Dad was set to start filming this spring, but the show was shelved until at least next year so they can hunt down the hunkiest middle-aged men.
ATVinsider told Flying Eze in January: “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.”
