What's more, new episodes may already be filmed and ready to air. While the show has not been renewed since March 2021, at the time it was given an order of 20 new episodes.
The broadcaster then went on to air seven episodes in series four starting in April 2021 before releasing seven more instalments for season five in autumn last year. This means that the stars are signed up for a further six episodes, which have yet to make their way to screens.

She wrote: "Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family.
