After a flurry of reports about a new Christmas special, co-creator Ruth Jones has denied that any new episodes of Gavin and Stacey are in the pipeline.
Yesterday, US entertainment website Deadline reported that Gavin and Stacey was set to return for a Christmas special this year, five years after the last episode aired. The news went viral on social media, lots of places picked up on it and, despite no official confirmation from either the BBC or creators Ruth Jones and James Corden, fans have been clamouring for more information.
Sadly, Jones has poured cold water on the speculation. Without fully dismissing the possibility of a reunion, she said it was “sadly a rumour”.
Speaking to Irish station Rte Radio 1, she added: “All I can say is, if there was something to say on that front, [co-creator] James [Corden] and I would happily announce it, we would.”
