McCann started by saying a "huge, huge" thank you to all the people that had watched the show and "been on our family journey with us".

The TV star continued: "This show has been such an incredible part of my life for the last seven years and what a ride it has been filming from being pregnant with Sunday to now.

"Your support and loyalty to me and my family has, at times, lifted me more than you will ever know. Thank you.

"From the day I started filming I have poured my heart and soul in to the series. I genuinely feel like I’ve laughed, cried, loved and lived with you, sharing all the ups and downs."
