Viewers praise "supportive" and "empowering" Our Shirley Valentine Summer as series ends
The heartwarming show saw eight female celebrities head to Greece to change their lives
Our Shirley Valentine Summer has been the definition of a feel-good show – and fans just don't want to say goodbye to our eight lovely ladies and their Greek adventure.
The documentary/reality show hybrid saw a group of older, single female celebrities take a trip to a Greek island villa: Melinda Messenger, Sian Lloyd, Nancy Dell’Olio, Aggie MacKenzie, Ninia Benjamin, Lizzie Cundy, Annabel Giles and Ingrid Tarrant all grabbed their passports and suitcases for a month-long getaway. Each woman was in search of a fresh start and a new perspective.
