Believe it or not, it's been a massive twelve years since sitcom Gavin and Stacey burst onto our TV screens, starring Mathew Horne and Joanna Page as the title characters.
James Corden confirmed the 2019 Christmas special of the iconic show by posting a photo of the script with the caption, "Ruth Jones and I have been keeping this secret for a while... We’re excited to share it with you. See you on Christmas Day", but our appetite for more Nessy, Smithy and the like is a bottomless pit so we've taken a look back at the cast to see what they're up to now.

The Christmas special came as a surprise to everyone, especially as it had been off-air for nine years, and most of the cast members had always dismissed the chance for a reunion.
Yet when Larry Lamb did his first TV interview on This Morning just after the news broke, he admitted he was shocked to get a call from James, and even confessed to crying when he read the script.
Larry said, "All of a sudden I got this Los Angeles number, I answered and we had about a 10 minute chat.
"He [James] said: 'I just want to know if you'll be available in the next little while because it looks like we are going to be doing a Christmas special' - it was quite extraordinary."

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps cast - where are they now?
"I'd got to the point where I just figured they'd left this jewel as it was and they didn't want to go on - they were only going to do one series in the first place."
He went on to say, "It's amazing what he and Ruth have managed to do, I finally read the script and it really got me."
"I just started to read the first little sequence and I just found myself crying - it was just like running into somebody who was a major part of your life and you are just so happy about it.
"It didn't really matter what they were doing - it wasn't funny, it wasn't anything... It was just so poignant and I immediately was into the feeling of the whole thing and it just took me along."
