Could Cold Feet be returning to our TV screens?

The stars of Cold Feet are rumoured to be in talks to reunite for a new series of the comedy drama more than ten years after the show's final episode.

James Nesbitt, Hermione Norris, Fay Ripley, John Thomson and Robert Bathurst are reportedly close to a deal to revive the show, which originally ran between 1998 and 2003.

The show followed the ups and downs of three 30-something couples living in Manchester for five series and was often compared to Friends.

Helen Baxendale's character Rachel was killed off in a car crash in a shock plot twist in 2003.

It is thought that the new series will follow the five remaining characters over a decade on from when ITV viewers last saw them.

A source told The Sun newspaper "the deal is very nearly done."

Filming would reportedly begin next year with plans for the series to fill the Sunday night autumn drama slot left by Downton Abbey, which is about to air its final series.

Spokespeople for James Nesbitt and Hermione Norris refused to comment on the rumours.
