The first picture of the Cold Feet cast has been released ahead of the brand new series.

Reuniting the stars of the 1990s hit show, John Thomson, James Nesbitt, Fay Ripley, Hermione Norris and Robert Bathurst pose in character in the snap.

Shared by ITV, the new photo is the first time fans have seen the fivesome back together in more than a decade.

The forthcoming series, which will feature eight episodes, centres on Adam (Nesbitt) as he returns to Manchester after living abroad for years.

There will reportedly be a nod to his on-screen other half Rachel (Helen Baxendale), who was killed off at the end of the last series.

Show creator Mike Bullen said: “This feels like the right time to revisit these characters, as they tip-toe through the minefield of middle age.”

Norris, who plays Karen, recently told Hello magazine: “I didn’t want to undo anything we’d done — the series was so loved. If we made it, it had to be really good. But Karen is mine, you know? She’s mine.

“It felt like only yesterday. But it first started 20 years ago, so you keep remembering where you were at that time.

"It was a totally different life — I wasn’t married, I didn’t have children. But I’d much rather be where I am now than where I was back then, any day.”

The original show ran for 33 episodes across five series, airing between 1997 and 2003.

The new series of Cold Feet is set to air on ITV this autumn.
