The couple added: "For a sneak preview of what to expect in series 9, click the link in our bio…"

Fans were thrilled with the news that series was coming back, but at the same time sad as it's the last season.

One commented: "Awesome! I can't wait, but it's sad as well as it's your last, but thank you for sharing your wonderful journey with us."

A fifth wrote: "Happy and sad really, I will enjoy every second. Totally understand. However who knows with this lovely couple what the future holds, always surprising."

Another wrote: "Can't wait we've missed you guys."

A third fan gushed: "So excited. How many times can I like this post."

While a fourth commented: "Fabulous news! It's wonderful to have something good to look forward to and enjoy."

The news of the new series comes after the couple recently shared snaps of their favourite room in the Chateau - the library.

Fans had a lot to say about the couple's choice of furniture, as they suggested they should get a more "comfier" chair in the room.
