Love them or loathe them, you can't deny the impact the Kardashians have had on our TV screens - and the entire world around them - with KUWTK. But, after 14 years, and a huge 20 seasons, the first family of American reality TV have decided to call it a day, saying it is with 'heavy hearts' that they have decided to step back from the show that made them famous.

'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,' Kim shared on social media last night. 'We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.

'Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives.

'Our last season will air early next year in 2021.'

'Without Keeping Up with The Kardashians, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years,' she added. 'This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever.'

Khloe added: 'I am so grateful and thankful to everyone who has supported us and been there through it all. I’m too emotional to fully express myself at the moment. My sappy post will come soon. Change is hard but also needed at times. I love you all. Thank you for the memories!'

Kourtney, the oldest, who in recent years has stepped back from the show, shared Kim's post - and simply added: 'I will gather my thoughts and share them in a bit.'
