Birds of a Feather is officially back on screens this Christmas, ITV has confirmed.
The show is making a comeback for the first time in three years for a one off festive ep, and it promises to bring some much needed cheer to all of our holidays.
The last time we checked in with the show, we saw Tracey reluctantly sell the house they all shared to Dorien.

Now, we're set to see how the Essex family are coping with 2020s rather mental year, and all the changes that have come with it.
ITV tease: "Tracey and Dorien have been getting right on each others' thruppennies, while Sharon has escaped to the other side of the world and is stuck on a Covid-cruise...
"Who can fill the Sharon-shaped hole in their lives this Christmas?".

The series will see Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph reprise their roles as Tracey Stubbs and Dorien Green, while TV presenter and comedian Les Dennis will guest star as Dorien's new flame Graeme.
Curtis Walker (The Real McCoy) will also make a cameo, while Ami Metcalf appears as Jordan, a young friend of Tracey's who's looking forward to a miserable lockdown Christmas.
While we almost had a full cast of our faves, unfortunately, Pauline Quirke will not be taking part in this Christmas special.

She's bowed out of the acting world in order to focus on her 200 nationwide performing arts academies instead.
The much anticipated Christmas special was written by the show's creators Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran alongside Gary Lawson and John Phelps, and produced by Ali Carron, while Jon Rolph served as Exec Producer.
Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran said: "We're really excited to help bring Birds of a Feather back to ITV's screens to give the nation some seasonal cheer in these peculiar times."
Meanwhile, Lesley Joseph added: "I'm so excited to be putting Dorien's high heels back on for a Christmas special of Birds.

"It's been 3 years since viewers last saw us and Dorien's only gone and got herself a new man! We all need a laugh right now and I promise this special will deliver the festive goods!"
Linda Robson chipped in: "I'm so happy we have a new Birds adventure. Trace and Dor have been at loggerheads with each other for months, will it be a peaceful Christmas in Essex?!
"The script for this special is brilliant, I promise we'll have lots of laughs for fans of the show."
We. Cannot. Wait.
