The new series of \'Cold Feet\' could be the last, according to Robert Bathurst.
Robert, 62, portrays David Marsden in the ITV show, which was revived in 2016 and he admitted that he doesn\'t expect the show to last past its upcoming ninth season, the fourth since its revival.
According to The Sun newspaper, he said: "If we are pulled, which I think we might well be, I always said we\'d either do one series and it\'d be a failure or we do four in the reboot. That was my instinct.
"It\'s not my decision, but if we are finishing I hope we\'ve given ITV a very difficult decision to make.
"It could well be the end, but you don\'t know. If it\'s still about people, that\'s life and it\'s open-ended.
"So long as it isn\'t: \'We\'ve done all the big issues of the day, we\'ve run out of those\' -- if that\'s the emphasis of it then, yeah, finish it."
However, Robert\'s co-star James Nesbitt insisted that it could continue.
He said: "There\'s chat about a few things going on. It\'s not just down to the writer, Mike Bullen.
"Nowadays, it\'s a lot to do with the people who watch it. But if there\'s an appetite for it, then there\'s an appetite for us to do it."
The programme first aired 22 years ago and ran for five seasons during its initial run, before returning in 2016 after a 13-year break.
For the eighth series, a weekly audience of almost four million people tuned in to see Nesbitt, Bathurst and their co-stars Hermione Norris, John Thomson and Fay Ripley.
