Ruth Jones has hinted that she’ll be working with her Gavin and Stacey co-star James Corden again soon.
The actress, 58, won best female performance in a comedy for her role as Nessa in the beloved BBC sitcom's emotional Christmas finale at the Bafta TV awards on Sunday night.
In her acceptance speech, she enthused: “Huge thank you to the BBC, such a fantastic institution which I am so proud to have worked with so many times.
“The person I would like to thank most is my dear dear kind talented funny friend, James Corden, with whom I have shared this astonishing journey for the 17 years and without whom Vanessa Shanessa Jenson would not have existed.
“I love you James, I love writing with you, long may it continue.”
Jones then added she hopes she’ll get to continue working with Corden, 46, now that Gavin and Stacey is over and thinks they will “come up with something in the future”, per the BBC.
Jones and Corden created and wrote Gavin and Stacey together, starring as Nessa and Smith in the comedy, which debuted in 2007.
"I often say he's like my annoying, younger brother and I'm like your very bossy older sister, but it just seems to work," she said.
"We have such a good laugh together and we just love being in a room and writing together and I hope that, that's going to continue because Gavin and Stacey is now finished.
"I can't really say anything at the moment, but yeah, I'm sure we will come up with something in the future."
In the Christmas Day episode, Gavin and Stacey fans saw Neil “Smithy” Smith (Corden) finally decide to marry Vanessa “Nessa” Jenkins (Jones) after calling off his wedding to Sonia (Laura Aikman) at the altar.
Gavin and Stacey was a huge hit with fans with its original 2007 to 2010 run.
It returned to screens in 2019 for a festive special and graced televisions once again with a Christmas Day episode in 2024.
Corden shared several behind-the-scenes photos from the latest special in December and thanks fans for tuning in in their millions.
In one snap, Corden and Mathew Horne, who plays Gavin, held hands while lying in bed together on the set.
In another, Alison Steadman (Pam) and Rob Brydon (Uncle Bryn) struck a playful pose while filming a drunken party scene.
