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."
