Gavin and Stacey cast spotted filming in wedding outfits – so could Nessa and Smithy FINALLY be getting married?
THE cast of Gavin and Stacey have been pictured in WEDDING attire as they film the show’s last ever episode set to air this Christmas.
It looks set to spark a huge amount of speculation among adoring fans of the show that James Corden‘s Smithy and Ruth Jones‘ Nessa could finally be about to tie the knot.
Actor James looked dapper as he scrubbed up in a blue suit to film scenes of the big day.
When the show last aired in 2019, it ended on a major cliffhanger which saw Nessa finally be honest about her feelings for Smithy and surprise him with a marriage proposal on Christmas Day.
So could these new pictures suggest that Smithy says yes to finally marrying his true love?
Matthew Horne, who plays title character Gavin, was also snapped on set alongside James as they geared up to film scenes for the impeding special.
In between takes, he kept himself wrapped up in a dressing gown and enjoyed a hot drink and a joke with the BBC show’s crew.
Alison Steadman, known for her role as Pam Shipman, was also among the cast filming at the top-secret venue as she donned a bright pink dress and wedding hat for the occasion.
Joanna Page also aimed to go undercover as she cut a low-key figure as she strolled alongside Alison as they made their way into filming
Also snapped on set were Rob Brydon, Melanie Walters, Julia Davis and Adrian Scarborough as they all appeared to be in attendance for the big day.
However, there was a notable absence as filming got underway.
Ruth Jones (Nessa) was not pictured during the day so if it is Smithy and Nessa’s wedding – does all go to plan?
Or could it hint that trouble is in the water before they even make it down the aisle?
Someone else who wasn’t seen filming the wedding scenes was Sheridan Smith.
Sheridan appeared in the sitcom’s in initial run but failed to return for the 2019 Christmas special.
However, The Sun exclusively revealed that the star had filmed scenes over the weekend as her character of Smithy’s sister Rudi.
A source said: “She is an incredible actress and stepped straight back into Rudi’s shoes.
“It was like no time had passed at all.
“Sheridan was over the moon she could go back into the fold and her scenes are brilliant.”
Gavin and Stacey's Best Moments
With the news that the show is set to make an exciting return to screens, let's take a look at some of the comedy programme's biggest and best moments...
- Smithy and Rudi’s American Boy rap – No one will ever forget when James Corden and Sheridan Smith rapped perfectly word for word the Kanye West and Estelle hit American Boy as they walked across the car park on the phone to Gavin.
- Pam’s Vegetarian faux pas – Despite loving a cheesburger, Pam found herself caught up in a web of unexpected lies when she claimed to be Vegetarian. She is forced to keep up the secret throughout the entire show and uses hubby Mick to help her scoff meat. She is later rumbled when Stacey catches her in the act as she scoffs ham in the kitchen. Stacey says to her: “Is that ham, Pam!?… “I’ve seen you, Pam. A scotch egg here, a bit of bacon there, putting those regular sausages into the Linda McCartney box”.
- THAT fishing trip – It remains one of the biggest mysteries in Gavin and Stacey history as to just exactly what did happen on the ill-fated fishing trip. Bryn appears to be hiding a secret as to an occurance between him and his nephew Jason which has left relations fractures. Ness’ on-off boyfriend, Dave, is the only other person to know the whole truth. Bryn did appear to allude to him and Jason lying together naked to keep warm as he said to Dave: “We’re going to have this out, once and for all, man to man, you may know what happened, David, but you don’t know why it happened! It was freezing cold, it was! And when you are that cold…”
- Islands in the Stream – No one can ever forget the classic Karaoke performance of Islands in the Stream. Nessa and Bryn performed the track in front of all their nearest and dearest. It saw the whole pub burst into some line-dancing as they enjoyed a boozy night out.
- The Xmas special proposal – In 2019, fans were left overjoyed when the show made a comeback but it ended on the ultimate cliffhanger. Nessa asked Smithy if she would marry him as she finally laid bare her feelings for him. Fans were gutted as the show then cut straight to the credits as they never found out just how Smithy answered. Will all be revealed in the brand new episode?
James, 45, dated Sheridan between 2007 and 2009, and called her the “love of his life”.
They remained on good terms after their split.
Sheridan played Rudi in series two and three.
The last-ever episode will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
