Home and Away’s Ada Nicodemou will host a new dating show to air on Channel 7 in 2012 called Please Marry My Boy. A variation of a UK television series, each episode gives four Aussie mums the power to choose a match made in heaven for their single sons, as reported by TV Tonight.
But there is a hitch – while the show includes speed dating, the unsuspecting sons don’t realise their mothers will be narrowing it down to three prime candidates. The girls are then told they are moving in with the mothers.
“Who doesn’t know a mum who dreams of her son meeting the perfect girl, falling in love and get married?” says Nicodemou. “The mums we meet in the series are fantastic. They approach the task of finding a match for their sons with military precision. They know their sons better than anyone, so they have very firm ideas about the perfect mate. Their sons had better watch out!”
Despite rumours, the show isn’t based on Greek mothers organising a proxenio at Sunday church service.
