Do you have unanswered questions for your ex?

 BAFTA-nominated BBC Three TV show Eating with My Ex reunites former couples over dinner to pick over the bones of their failed relationships, the show has been a huge hit with young audiences and has racked up nearly 20 million views online. 

Kalpna Patel-Knight, commissioning editor at the BBC, said: “Eating with My Ex smashed it on BBC Three so it was a no brainer to commission it again.  The diverse stories were a compelling watch.”
“We love how [the show] deals with universal themes, through the eyes of a range of real people, with humour and emotion,” added Fiona Campbell, controller of BBC Three.

Reflecting the diversity of Britain’s young people, the show was originally commissioned as a 10 part, seven-minute short-form series. The current long-form series consists of ten 30-minute episodes and builds on its successful BBC Three premier. It has also aired in BBC Three’s new youth programming slot at 10.35pm on BBC One.

The show will again be a co-production between Fremantle UK labels, Shotglass and Thames. Fremantle is one the largest global creators, producers and distributors of scripted and unscripted content, with a presence in over 30 countries. The group distributes over 20,000 hours of content in more than 200 territories and airs 450 programmes a year worldwide.

James Cooper, executive producer at Shotglass, said: “We’re thrilled that Eating with My Ex has been recommissioned. Audiences have really responded to the authenticity and emotion of the show and BBC Three have been incredibly enthusiastic and supportive.”

“We are so pleased that the audience love watching this anti-dating show as much as we enjoy making it,” said Phil Harris, creative director of Thames and executive producer. “Here's to a second helping of awkward, revealing and funny plate questions.” 

Casting will be held this summer. Visit the BBC website for more information about taking part in the show.
