Oh! Omelettes at the ready - the actress who plays Gwen West in Gavin and Stacey says that each time the cast come together to film it is like "old friends reuniting". Melanie Walters has played Gwen since the hit sitcom first aired in 2007.

“In Barry, Bryn’s packing the Picasso in readiness for a trip to Essex; Stacey and Gavin are looking for new ways to spice up their seventeen-year marriage and Gwen is behaving most strangely,” they said. Nessa has just started a new business venture and Neil the Baby, who is now all grown up, is doing an apprenticeship with his dad.

Gavin and Stacey: The Finale will be broadcast on BBC One Christmas Day in a 90 minute episode which will bring an end to the beloved Barry-based sitcom. We're now five years on from the last episode which ended on a cliffhanger with Nessa proposing to Smithy just before the credits rolled.
