'Civilised': Hermione Norris says she and her Cold Feet co-stars prefer going out for dinner to clubbing these days

Hermione Norris says it’s great to be reunited with her Cold Feet co-stars but: “Where we used to go out clubbing, now we go out for a nice, civilised dinner.”

The actress, 50, returns in the seventh series of the ITV comedy drama tonight, two decades after the first season aired.

She said: “It’s so great to be back with the gang again. It’s a privilege to work with people over a 20-year period and to share that experience and to be a part of something that clearly has been so loved.”

The show first ran from 1997 to 2003 and returned last year.

Norris, speaking after awarding the National Lottery’s Heritage Project prize to First World War commemoration team 14-18NOW, said: “I was completely blown away by how much love we received when we came back.”

Last year the series made its return to screens with the original cast, including James Nesbitt, Robert Bathurst, John Thomson, Fay Ripley, Leanne Best and Ceallach Spellman, mostly intact, save for Helen Baxendale whose character Rachel was killed off back in 2003.

The original five series followed the relationship ups and downs of three couples, while the 2016 run and forthcoming episodes catch up with the characters after divorces, remarriages and years of parenting.

Cold Feet’s revival received such a warm welcome from fans that ITV decided to bring it back for another series this year, which picks up a few months after the action of series six.

Cold Feet returns to ITV on Friday, September 8 at 9pm.
