Fans have shared their devastation following the news that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is set to conclude after 20 seasons.

Since its initial release in October 2007, KUWTK has granted fans an insight into the wild and excessive lives of one of America's most famous families.

In the early days, the show was dominated by (questionable) Noughties fashion, sibling rivalry and bizarre storylines (anyone remember the time Khloe, Kim and Kourtney rented a baby chimp for Kris to look after?).

But as the years progressed - and their side hustles turned into multi-million dollar businesses - the show transformed from a bog-standard reality TV show into a cultural phenomenon.

And although the Kardashian-Jenner clan have divided opinion over the past 13 years, there's no denying there will be a KUWTK-shaped hole in many people's lives.

Here's how fans have responded to the shock announcement...

Has anyone checked in on Kris?

Just when we thought 2020 couldn't get any worse...

It's the end of an era

What will we do without scenes like these?

...and all the meme opportunities?

Kim: KUWTK is ending

Kris:

Waiting for Kourtney's response...

On Instagram and Twitter last night, Kim announced to fans: “It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

“After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children.

“We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”

Keeping Up With The Kardashians seasons 1 to 18 are available to stream on Hayu. Seasons 1 to 4 are also on Netflix
