CBBC show on the hunt for LGBTQ+ parents ready to tie the knot

Gscene Editorial Team January 20, 2020

Marrying Mum & Dad, the CBBC show which lets children play boss, is currently looking for LGBTQ+ parents/stepparents who are ready tie the knot and willing to leave the fate of the big day in the hands of their children.

For these episodes, which will be named Marrying Mum & Mum/Dad & Dad, the youngsters (8-14-year-olds) will organise every aspect of the wedding/civil ceremony; from the theme to the venue, the costume to the cake, as well as the arranging the transport and entertainment.

Ed Petrie, who co-hosts the show, said: “Letting 8-14-year-olds plan your entire wedding day may sound like a ridiculous idea – and it is! But in the best possible way. These weddings are exhilaratingly bonkers, heart warmingly wacky and utterly unique. A day your family will truly remember forever!”

The show will film from March until July 2020.

The closing date for all applications is Monday, February 17 and the form is available to download here.

Early applications are strongly encouraged. To submit your application, email marrying@bbc.co.uk or post it to Marrying Mum and Dad, BBC Scotland, CBBC, Zone 4.01, 40 Pacific Quay, Glasgow.
