My Mum Your Dad fans in tears over emotional Monique's heartbreaking confession

My Mum, Your Dad fans were left in tears on Tuesday as Monique emotionally opened up to host Davina McCall after getting overwhelmed at the retreat.

During the latest episode, the subject of marriage got brought up to the single parents to which an upset Monique immediately got up and walked away into the kitchen. Host Davina, 55, was quick to follow Monique as she comforted the crying contestant. Opening up, Monique said: "All these people are so lovely and they're all on their own, and that's me. Then it's like: 'Will you ever get married? Will you ever meet someone?'"

Her daughter, Talya, who is with the other contestants' children in a second secret villa monitoring their parents, said while watching the emotional moment: "She has been cheated on... like multiple times by previous partners and I think it did trigger something in her." Back at the main villa, Davina then hugged Monique, saying: "Hey, hey, hey!"
