"We’re very much picking up where we left off - the new series starts the morning after the night before. After leaving the audience on the cliffhanger of Cathy snogging her brother, we now see the fall out of this massive revelation. Cat and Cathy have understandably different reactions: Cat desperately wants to see her new bro, whilst Cathy struggles to come to terms that she FRENCHIED A SIBLING.

This show has always been a love letter to sisterhood, with Cat and Cathy still trying to work out how to co-exist as family - but now we’re throwing a new brother, Callum, into the mix too. Callum has to get his head around the fact that he’s been living a lie and that his ‘perfect’ family is not all that it seems. And there’s also Callum’s mother Angela - who’s finally had to fess up to the biggest secret of her life: that her son’s father is not who she says it is. All of this is alongside Tess and Marilyn’s gradual acceptance of Colin’s inability to keep his dick in his pants.

This series has been a joy to work on from start to finish and we couldn’t be more excited to be back on the BBC. Our core cast - Ellie White, Lauren Socha, Rebecca Front and Siobhan Finneran - were so funny and collaborative and we couldn’t be more chuffed to have Christopher Jeffers and Michele Austin join the gang. We also welcomed back Amit Shah and Caroline Quentin who were, as ever, brilliant sports and fantastic performers."
