AIMEE LOU WOOD COMEDY DADDY ISSUES SET FOR THIRD SERIES ON BBC THREE

BBC comedy Daddy Issues, starring Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey, is set to return for a third series, it has been revealed.

The show follows Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood), who lives for the weekend when she can get blasted and party hard in Stockport, Manchester. But after joining the mile high club with a random hook-up on her way back from a holiday to Portugal, she's pregnant, and it couldn't come at a worse time.

The only person Gemma has left in her life is her dad Malcolm (David Morrissey), who is kind hearted but useless – he can't load a washing machine, boil an egg or change the Wi-Fi password. Malcolm is suffering from the collapse of his family and living in a bedsit for divorced men.

Speaking on BBC's Saturday Kitchen Live, star Sarah Hadland revealed the third series would be filming this Autumn. The BBC are yet to formally announce the recommission.

Set in Stockport the first series saw Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) discover she’s pregnant after a random hook-up. With her sister Catherine (Sharon Rooney) in prison and her mum Davina (Susan Lynch) travelling around the world to find herself, Gemma had no choice but to turn to her hapless father Malcolm (David Morrissey) for support.

The end of thefirst series saw Gemma going into labour at Rita's (Sarah Hadland) salon, then giving birth to baby Sadie with friends Cherry (Taj Atwal) and Xander (Arian Nik) by her side. Meanwhile Malcolm rushed to make it to the hospital in time, with toxic friend Derek (David Fynn) in tow. But a face from the past could change everything for them. 

Daddy Issues is available now on BBC iPlayer.
