MY MUM Your Dad star Roger has admitted his show appearance "split" his family "down the middle."
The ITV star, 59 - who has found love with co-star Janey, 47, - admitted both he and his loved ones initially shared concerns he was "not ready" for romance.
Earlier in the My Mum Your Dad series, fans issued an urgent warning after seeing the parent break down when talking of his late wife.
Fans were in tears as they listened to Roger open up on his wife's death, with the postman and his late spouse Joanne having been in a relationship for 37 years.
With Joanne having passed away less than two years ago, My Mum Your Dad viewers were worried the dad of three just wasn't ready for the matchmaking experience - and on Monday's Good Morning Britain, Roger agreed.

The ITV star confirmed to hosts Susanna Reid, 52, and Richard Madeley, 67, he had the same apprehension, saying: "Me as well yeah."
He told them his stint on the show "it was a debate in the family as well" and added: "It split them down the middle.
"But I said 'if I had the once in a lifetime chance I am going to take it'."
Richard then asked if the show had been a "journey of discovery" for the star.
Roger again agreed and confessed: "I did think to myself if I met someone, I thought I would fall hard.
"And I did, very hard."
Janey, who was a late arrival to the show, beamed at his words.
The pair then confirmed his son Zach and her daughter Tia were firmly backing the partnership.
They told how they "needed to lie down" after feeling the love from fans, many of whom approached them during their weekend trip to London.

Richard, causing hilarity from the whole studio with his Alan Patridge-style comments, then likened the pair to "ham and eggs" as they were such a good match.
At the weekend, the duo confirmed they were still an item.
My Mum, Your Dad - hosted by Davina McCall - has proven successful and Roger’s love match with singer Janey has stayed the distance after filming wrapped.
The lovebirds posted on social media, confirming The Sun's story that they are still together months after filming at the Sussex mansion ended.
Janey posted online confirming the update, writing: "What an amazing journey... Saturday mornings just got a whole lot better."
Fans erupted when Roger also shared a series of gorgeous selfies of his summer of love.
