Gavin and Stacey stars to reunite this week for special cause

Gavin and Stacey star Alison Steadman is to reunite with a co-star for a special cause this week.

Alison, who was born in Liverpool, will be hosting an online Gavin and Stacey quiz to raise funds for Marie Curie during the coronavirus pandemic.

It will be held this Thursday and the popular actor will be joined by her "little prince" Mathew Horne, who played the titular role of Gavin in the smash hit sitcom.

Fans will be keen to see the on-screen mother and son reunite, particularly after the Christmas special last December which ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans begging for more episodes.

It had been nine years since the Billericay to Barry Island love story left our screens, with fans desperate for more of Gavin, Stacey, Nessa and Smithy's antics.

But after an hour of festive fun with the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, pretty much everyone was left saying the same thing.

Fans demanded the show return for another series, after the one-off episode ended on a massive cliffhanger when Nessa got down on one knee and asked Smithy to marry her.

It has not been confirmed whether or not a new series will be produced.

Speaking on This Morning, Alison, who played Gavin's mum Pam, didn't speak about a new series but she did confirm her co-star Mathew will join her for the quiz.

The quiz will be held this Thursday, May 21 at 8.15pm and you can register to take part by clicking here.
