My Mum, Your Dad star Janey Smith opened up on her \u201ctragic\u201d dating history prior to taking part in the hit ITV show and finding love with Roger Hawes. <\/p>\n

Speaking about her dating history, the singer and recruitment manager said her son William would call it "tragic", but she would call it "varied". <\/p>\n

The hit ITV show, which was fronted by Davina McCall, aimed to connect single parents together in the hope of finding love – all while under the watchful eye of their grown-up children. Janey, who was one of the success stories from the show, said she had \u201cmatured\u201d since she was younger and the kind of person she used to go for, \u201cis not right\u201d for her now. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Janey revealed she had tried a number of ways to find her perfect match before going on the show. She said: \u201cI\u2019ve been set up with friends in the past, I\u2019ve had blind dates, I\u2019ve been on every internet dating site. I did all the apps, I\u2019ve exhausted them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember my first ever online date – about 18 years ago from the website My Single Friend. We\u2019d obviously never met but he knew I loved ABBA, so had booked to see Mamma Mia! the Musical in the West End and dinner for a first date. Sadly no chemistry but blimey 10\/10 for effort!!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her perfect match, she said: \u201cIt sounds clich\u00e9 but it\u2019s not about the looks and material things, it\u2019s so irrelevant. Now I\u2019m looking for a best friend that I fancy!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It looks like she finally found her perfect match as viewers watched her build a relationship with fellow singletonRoger Hawes.<\/p>\n

Roger took to social media on Saturday, 23 September, to confirm that the pair were still "going strong".<\/p>\n

Alongside a picture of the happy couple posing on a sandy beach with big smiles, Roger said: "It\u2019s been hard to keep it a secret but the wait is finally over – me and the beautiful @janeybombshell are still going strong and have never been better since."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He sweetly added: "We couldn\u2019t be happier together and it wouldn\u2019t be possible without @itv."<\/p>\n

Janey also confirmed the news on her own Instagram, writing: "What an amazing journey… Saturday mornings just got a whole lot better."<\/p>\n

Overjoyed fans took to the comments to shower the pair with congratulations. One said: "I have never been happier for two strangers in my whole life!", while another said: \u201cThis is the news we been waiting for so happy for you both\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
