BBC Sort Your Life Out fans were left heartbroken this week when one beloved show came to an end for another series.

Sort Your Life Out’s latest series came to an end this week but now one of the stars has issued a show update.

BBC fans have been watching Stacey Solomon and her team of experts helping families across the country declutter their homes since 2021.

Putting all of their belongings into a warehouse, Stacey and organising expert Dilly Carter then assist the families in deciding whether they want to keep, sell or donate each item that was once in their home.

Over the years, there’s been tears, laughter and heartwarming stories as each family has a touching tale on why they need the team’s help.

This week (April 14), fans tuned in for the sixth episode of the BBC show with the Mann-Monro family.

However, the instalment marked the last episode in the series, with Dilly Carter issuing an update on Sort Your Life Out’s future. Taking to Instagram, she shared a photo of the team together, writing: “AND THAT’S A WRAP. Series 6 of @sortyourlifeout is over and out.

“A hugely emotional last episode going out with a bang. This series has been unbelievable and we are so grateful to every family who has taken part and opened up their homes to us and let us in.

“This show relies on YOU. And we are so beyond grateful we get to help transform such amazing families’ lives forever.”

She then went on to praise the team on the show behind the scenes who work ‘tirelessly’ to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Wrapping up her caption, Dilly confirmed Sort Your Life Out will be back once again in the future. She continued: “But for now, it’s time to start getting ready for the next series. Will we be coming to your road? Keep an eye out.

“Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, and to my gang, my TV family, I love you all and can’t wait to see you in 2 weeks.”

It wasn’t long before people commented on the post, with many praising the series so far. One person said: “Great show, can’t wait for the next series.”

Another added: “Miss you all until next time.” Someone else commented: “So sad it’s finished, best telly ever xxx”

One fan wrote: “Love the programme and love the team!! Please come back soon.” As another shared: “What an amazing series, absolutely loved it – emotional but so uplifting.”

Sort Your Life Out is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

The Dropout tells the story of the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of biotech company Theranos, starring Amanda Seyfried.

The true crime series starring Amanda Seyfried is now available to stream on ITVX.

The Dropout chronicles the true story behind the collapse of tech firm Theranos and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes.

The tale commences in 2002, when Holmes embarked on a chemical engineering degree at the prestigious Stanford University in California, where she quickly began developing concepts for groundbreaking inventions.

Her initial concept involved creating a patch that would adhere to a person’s skin and continuously monitor the body for infections, automatically dispensing antibiotics when required. While the idea appeared fascinating in principle, it proved physically unachievable.

Professor of Medicine Dr Phyllis Gardner (Laurie Metcalf) advised Holmes of this, but she appeared to dismiss the academic’s knowledge as an underestimation of her capabilities.

Holmes insisted that she could “change the world” with this pioneering technology and garnered international acclaim, reports the Express.

She left Stanford before completing her second year to concentrate on her new venture, Theranos, which centred around an equally ambitious and potentially transformative piece of technology.

Nevertheless, when The Wall Street Journal launched an investigation into the firm, its reporting triggered a cascade of enquiries and increased scrutiny of Theranos, prompting it to become more transparent about its tightly guarded methods.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched an investigation, and 40 per cent of staff were made redundant a year later as the company went through restructuring.

Following the charges, the trial was postponed due to Holmes’ pregnancy and the COVID-19 pandemic, but eventually commenced in September 2021, with a jury convicting her on four counts of defrauding investors four months later.

No verdict was reached on three additional counts of wire fraud against investors, which the government later dropped, while Holmes was also acquitted on four counts of defrauding patients.

On 18th November 2022, Holmes received a sentence of 11 years and three months in prison, and she began serving her sentence in Texas on 30th May 2023.

The Dropout chronicles the dramatic downfall of the woman Forbes once dubbed the “youngest self-made female billionaire” in the world.

“Wow.. this show is insane. I want to start off by saying that I know movies and shows overdramatise true stories, so I’m speaking solely about the show right now. This goes from you rooting for the main character to you hating her.. like a real life Anakin Skywalker story”, one viewer commented about the series in a review on IMDB.

Another remarked, “The story itself is good. It moved at a quick pace, and everything they got is amazing. The one that played Edmund Ko, Stephen Fry as Ian Gibbons, are standouts for me. Sunny was also great.”

A third wrote: “Highly Watchable With Great Performances”, while another stated: “Wonderful! One of the very best shows you can see. Amanda Seyfried deserves every award to which she is eligible. Her performance as Elizabeth Holmes is off the chart.”

The Dropout is available to stream on ITVX
