My Mum, Your Dad’s Janey and Roger joined the Loose Women panel to discuss their romance and revealed they were practically living together after finding love on the ITV dating show

Roger and Janey, who first captured the hearts of ITV viewers when they sparked a romance on My Mum, Your dad in 2023, joined the Loose Women panel a year later to discuss their life post-show, revealing that they were practically living together.

However, the conversation took an emotional turn when Janey shared what her father had said to her after seeing her with Roger. She remembered him saying ‘we like Roger, don’t push him away,’ which moved Roger to tears live on the show.

Janey recounted: “They asked, ‘So why are you here? ‘ and I could feel it coming, I wasn’t going to say anything but I thought, ‘I’ve got to be honest here,’ I know I’ve pushed people away in the past. There’s some traits in me and adopted people that you carry and never address.

“I felt for the first time in my life, ‘Well done Janey, you’ve just gone and said it on live TV.’ You don’t even tell people you meet but thank goodness I did.

“People messaged me saying, ‘that’s exactly how I felt,’ and when I said I push people away, something very sweet – my Dad doesn’t do reality TV, that’s how he is, but he messaged me after watching it and said, ‘We love Roger, don’t push him away’”, reports OK!.

The entire panel cooed “aww” as a teary-eyed Roger was seen wiping his tears away.

Roger meanwhile opened up about his instant connection with Janey, revealing to the panel: “It didn’t show on the show itself but she came in and I obviously liked what I saw straight away. We just hit it off. She just said randomly, ‘what am I like? ‘ and I said, ‘I know what you’re like.’ Everyone was looking at us and we were off in our own little world.”

Jane Moore chimed in with a question about the couple’s unique experience: “Is it weird a year on to see the moment you first met on TV?”

Roger shared his emotional reaction to reliving their first encounter on screen: “It’s lovely to see but I was filling up watching it,” while Janey confessed, “When you see it, it’s like ‘oh no, don’t set me off.’ It was a very emotional time. There was anxiety, it was a big thing. It does take you back. It’s an outer body experience really.”

Reflecting on her mindset before meeting Roger, Janey said she had a premonition, telling herself, “I could meet someone very special” just before he walked into her life.

Linda Robson delved deeper into the personal aspects of their relationship, asking: “How important was it for your kids to approve of the relationship?”

Janey spoke candidly about the significance of her son’s acceptance: “Massively,” she said. “William was a bit more hard work I would say but I think it’s because it’s just been myself and him for 19, 20 years. He’s not lived with anyone. He’s protective over me and seen me get hurt.”

The couple also revealed how their lives have intertwined over the past year, with Roger making himself at home by placing three toothbrushes at Janey’s place, prompting her playful remark that he needed more space for his clothes.
