Gavin and Stacey stars 'bubbling' ahead of finale

The series will be returning for a final episode at Christmas

Gavin and Stacey actor Larry Lamb says the cast are already chatting ahead of filming the final episode, but insists he has no idea how it is going to end.

Co-creators James Corden and Ruth Jones confirmed earlier this month the final episode of Gavin and Stacey will air on Christmas Day.

Lamb, who plays Mick Shipman in the hit TV programme, expressed his excitement during a visit to Stroud in Gloucestershire.

"There's been a lot of nattering on our Whatsapp group and everyone's bubbling," Lamb said.

"The last time we did it, which was a good five years ago now, everyone thought this was the last time and off we go again, it was wonderful to do it," he added.

Lamb said he had been asked questions about the show's return for years.

But he is not giving anything away about what might happen in the festive episode.

"The missing link is we haven't seen the script yet. I don't know anything about it, all I know is we're doing it," he said.

So will we find out if Smithy and Nessa get married - and what happened on that fishing trip?

Lamb said: "Absolutely no idea and they have a wonderful way of doing these things, they just carry on the secrets.

"It might be at the end of it you don't know any of the answers to any of the questions."
