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

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.
