The Gavin & Stacey cast: Then and now
Gavin & Stacey is back for a Christmas special!
Everyone will be aware that Gavin & Stacey was one of the funniest shows ever to grace our TV screens, so when James Corden confirmed that there was going to be a Christmas reunion special of Gavin & Stacey, we could barely contain ourselves.
The much-beloved series, which ran from 2007 to 2010, is bringing back all the original characters almost 10 years after it originally ended - and it's airing on CHRISTMAS DAY!
Check out all of the Gavin and Stacey cast then and now:

Earlier this month, the BBC dropped the official trailer for the 2019 Christmas special. The one-minute trailer shows the gang all up to their old tricks, with Smithy, Gav and his parents Pam and Mick all singing 'Step Into Christmas' by Elton John at the start of the trailer, harkening back to the original series.
Check out the official Gavin & Stacey trailer below:
The Gavin & Stacey Christmas special will air on BBC One at 8.30pm on Wednesday 25th December.
