It was revealed in May the series would return for one last time on Christmas Day.

The programme originally aired between 2007 and 2010, before returning for a special in 2019.

Co-creator Ruth Jones had previously denied rumours of a return, which first emerged in US media, before she and Corden finally confirmed the reunion.

The 45-year-old, who has recently completed a theatre run at London's Old Vic, revealed he was "off to Barry Island".

He said he would be returning to the seaside resort in the Vale of Glamorgan for "the next seven weeks".

In the intervening years since the show's original run, Corden presented his own chat show The Late Late Show until last year.

Mainly filmed in South Wales, Gavin & Stacey focuses on the romance between the titular characters (Matthew Horne and Joanna Page) and the lives of their friends and families.

Corden and Jones star as their best friends Smithy and Nessa, respectively.

While Rob Brydon, Melanie Walters, Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb also appear as the pair's eccentric family.

The last special ended on a cliffhanger, as viewers were left guessing Smithy's response to Nessa's proposal.

Around 18 million people tuned in to watch the show's comeback in 2019.
