Six weeks of pure TV magic. Congratulations @ITV," while another added: "A perfect end to a perfect series. Absolutely loved this, the best and most heartwarming Sunday night TV!"

"I will not say a word specifically but there are lots of twists and turns in it. It genuinely does remind you what Christmas is about – what it really is about – as well as giving you, of course, I hope a lot of laughs and pleasure on the way. But it’s got a twist, to say the least of it," she added.
