The trio were forced to miss the last series of the show, which aired in early 2020, due to the coronavirus lockdown. However, thanks to the lockdown lifting to an extent, the three fan favourites were able to begin filming again.

Replying to Sid, one person wrote: "Great to see the Siddiquis snack on screen. I wish we weren’t left with the cliffhanger about whether the tea was made well or not," to which Sid replied: "Sorry! But please trust me tea was liked very much by the boys." Another person tweeted: "You’re welcome Sid. You’re one of our favourite families on the show, hasn’t been the same without you."
