Gavin & Stacey was last on our screens in 2019 when the Shipman's and Smithy (James Corden) headed to Barry to celebrate Christmas. The episode ended on a cliff-hanger as Nessa, played by Ruth Jones, proposed to Smithy and fans have been waiting to hear his answer ever since.
Fans are already speculating that the episode, which is due to air on Christmas Day, may follow directly on from Nessa's proposal and follow the characters into the new year. You can find our round-up of everything you need to know about the Christmas special here.
