However she will be there in spirit, as the show’s producer has confirmed that a special tribute episode has been planned for Adam’s beloved late wife, Rachel.

So what else does the show have in store for us?

Creator Mike Bullen told What’s On TV: “This feels like the right time to revisit these characters, as they tip-toe through the minefield of middle age!

“They’re 50, but still feel 30, apart from on the morning after the night before, when they really feel their age.”

He added: “They’ve still got lots of life to look forward to, though they’re not necessarily the years one looks forward to!”

It has been confirmed that Guy Garvey, aka the frontman from Elbow, has written and performed an original song with I Am Kloot’s Peter Jobson that will serve as the new Cold Feet theme.

The song, titled The Rover Returns, was penned after James Nesbitt personally went on Radio 2’s The Chris Evans Show and asked them to write track for the reunion series.

Executive producer Kenton Allen said: “We’re thrilled and flattered that these two iconic sons of Manchester wanted to write and perform an original song to mark the return of Cold Feet.

“Amazing music has always been part the show’s DNA and it’s great to give a nod to the rich musical heritage of Manchester with Guy and Pete’s beautiful new composition.”

Roll on autumn 2016 already.
