Channel 5 will launch a brand new series on Thursday, February 28th.
Who Needs a Man When You Have a Spray Tan sets out to celebrate single mums in Liverpool, with a selection of mums at the centre of the cast.
However, it’s safe to say that initial trailers and a tongue-in-cheek show title have been met with mixed reviews. Here’s everything you need to know about Who Needs a Man and its cast.

What is Who Needs a Man About?
The C5 series focuses on a selection of single mums from Knowsley, in Liverpool.
It follows their everyday lives and chores from preparing party bags for their children’s birthdays to heading out for botox and attending charity events.
Following the teaser trailers, some Liverpool residents took to Twitter to voice their displeasure over the show, complaining that it harboured certain stereotypes.
However, a Channel 5 spokesperson hit back saying that the series followed “strong women” and highlighted how the women “juggled everything that could be thrown at them in life, from multiple jobs to raising a family”.
