And one said: "Love watching your programme such a lovely family! Enjoy your break."

Sue recently opened up on the pressures of running their business in the earlier years and that bankruptcy nearly caused the couple to divorce.

She said: "You would go to bed thinking about the debt, wake up thinking about the debt, wake up in the night thinking about the debt. If anything would have caused us to get a divorce, it was this shop. Looking back now, it was a time where I genuinely thought our marriage would not pull through. We’d get divorced and that would be it. It was absolutely awful."
