Rob Brydon has teased Gavin and Stacey fans with a picture alongside Ruth Jones as filming for the final ever episode of Gavin and Stacey gets set to begin.

Gavin and Stacey began on BBC Three back in 2007, running for three series as well as two Christmas specials, the latest of which aired in 2019.

The 2019 Christmas special ended on a cliff-hanger with Nessa (Ruth Jones) proposing to Smithy (James Corden).

Earlier this year, fans of the show received the news they had been waiting four years for when Corden and Jones - who are also writers of the hit BBC show - revealed Gavin and Stacey would be returning for one final episode which will air on Christmas Day in 2024.
