James Corden joins rest of Gavin and Stacey cast for upcoming Christmas special – which will be beloved show’s finale
THE stars of Gavin & Stacey have their backs against the wall — again.
James Corden, Mathew Horne, Joanna Page and Ruth Jones strike the same pose for the upcoming finale as they did in 2007 when the sitcom launched.
The Christmas Day special on BBC One will see Gavin and Stacey look to spice up their, now lengthy, marriage.
Nessa, who proposed to Smithy at the end of the last episode in 2019, has also started a new business venture.
We recently revealed how James Cordon hinted that a major character from Gavin & Stacey may meet a tragic fate in the upcoming Christmas special.
While keeping details under wraps, James suggested that fans should prepare for unexpected twists in the beloved show’s festive return.
He has teased fans that the long-awaited festive special will include a character’s funeral.
His comments has sparked speculation that much-loved Uncle Bryn will pass away.
Stacey’s Uncle Bryn, played by Would I Lie To You? host Rob Brydon, 59, has been in the show since its 2007 pilot.
At The Global Gift Gala charity event in London this week, James revealed: “What we were editing today was a very moving and emotional scene at Bryn’s funeral. I’m joking, I promise. Or am I?”
He previously admitted the last episode, due to be screened on Christmas Day, will be “hard to watch”.
The last Gavin & Stacey episode was aired at Christmas in 2019.
Viewers are hoping for a happy ending for Nessa and Smithy as the episode was left on a cliffhanger.
