Ah. That's a shame ;(
My wife and youngest bought it as a present to replace my jalapeño. I've just been too side tracked with house stuff to think about the garden.
I've potted it up and brought it inside and placed it in the lightest place I have. Got to say I fucking hate how few sunny spots we have this time of year. It's like a fucking exodus to the back of the house.

Jokes aside though, maybe you can overwinter it successfully, and it will thrive again next year 👍
My suggestion would be to take care not to overwater it - looks like it has only few leaves left, so there won't be much evaporation.. just a little sip every week or so depending on how warm your house is.Good luck ✌️

A friend of mine has managed to keep a basket of fire chilli plant going for two years and it kept producing fruit all through the winter inside. It may pick up!
If people have well established mature plants they can be brought in and kept at 10c as other people have said. Also, pruned right back and then when the spring starts they will start to sprout again. It’s also possible to trim the routes in spring and plant in fresh compost but they do take a while to rejuvenate.
I found it worked well trying to keep the whole plant alive on a sunny window sill if that’s an option

yes, to help the chilies to ripen (they need mostly warmth to ripen, not sunlight)
beyond that I wouldn't get my hopes up with this plant, sorry to say but it looks very beat up and probably won't recover no matter where you plant it next
