My Mum, Your Dad's Janey and Roger admit they'd love to foster children
They met on the show last year
Janey Smith and Roger Hawes are an absolute success story from the very first series of My Mum, Your Dad, with the pair still going strong over one year on from meeting on the ITV/STV dating show.
With the couple teasing marriage plans, they've now admitted they'd love to foster children in the future.
During an interview with OK! Magazine, Janey, who was adopted when she was a young baby, admitted herself and Roger have spoken about fostering children when they do eventually move in together.
She told the publication: "I’ve said to him before that I’d love to foster.
"I probably said it quite fleetingly but we’ve since done a few things with Action For Children charity to raise awareness. We don’t officially live with each other and we don’t have a big enough house but, yes, I said I’d love to do it and he said he would too."
Speaking to OK! ahead of World Adoption Day on 9th November, 49-year-old Janey candidly opened up about the impact being adopted had on her own life.
She said: "I’d say it’s only been in the last 10 years that I’ve properly addressed it and started telling people. It’s funny in a way because my mum’s only 5ft tall and I’m 5ft 10in, so it must have been quite obvious. Even though I knew I was adopted, I didn’t fully understand what it all meant."

But it's certainly not out of the question! The way things are progressing... I think it would be lovely and romantic and, yeah, who knows!"
