Get ready for a double treat as the stars of Gavin and Stacey make a special appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, treating fans to a sneak peek at their highly anticipated Christmas special.
Gavin and Stacey Fans Treated to a Double Treat on Strictly
The first clips from the final episode of Gavin and Stacey were shown during the Strictly Come Dancing finale on Saturday night, treating fans to a double treat. Before the trailer was aired, Ruth Jones made a cameo appearance as Nessa, leaving fans wondering what’s next for the beloved characters.
A Sneak Peek at the Final Episode
The trailer appeared to centre around the key characters coming together for a weekend, but it didn’t give away any major spoilers about whether Nessa and Smithy have tied the knot since their Christmas special in 2019. The last fans saw of the couple was when Nessa went down on one knee and asked Smithy to marry her.
A Mystery Finally to be Revealed?
One of the show’s biggest mysteries, what happened during Uncle Bryn and Jason‘s fishing trip, may finally be revealed in the Christmas special. A character thought to be Gwen (Stacey‘s mother) was heard saying: “Thirty years ago you two went on a fishing trip that almost tore this family apart,” suggesting fans will get some answers soon.
All Recurring Characters Featured
All the recurring characters were seen in the clips, including Gavin and Stacey (played by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page), who got married in the first season of the show in 2007. The trailer ends with the characters dancing and knocking back a round of shots.
Fans React to the Trailer
Fans took to social media after the trailer dropped, with one user writing: “This looks so so good.” Another user exclaimed: “Strictly, you’re killing me here!” A third fan commented: “I’m not ready for it to be completely over.”
During her cameo as Nessa, Jones explained the terms and conditions of voting for Strictly’s winners, and told host Claudia Winkleman: “I see you’re copying my hairstyle still, tidy.” She added: “Please don’t try and vote if you’re watching on demand, you’ll just make a fool of yourself.”
The hit TV series, co-created by Corden and Jones, aired between 2007 and 2010, and returned in 2019 with a one-off festive special.
