One of the biggest takeaways from last year's Gavin & Stacey special was that Smithy has a girlfriend who wasn't Nessa.
Instead, Smithy (James Corden) is with Sonia, with whom he has some excruciating baby talk over the phone until she turns up in Barry. Played by actress Laura Aikman, Sonia's not impressed with the set up at Uncle Bryn's and not on board with the oddities and quirks of the Wests and Nessa's ways.
But where have you seen Laura before?
The answer is: in quite a few things actually! Let's take a look and find out a bit more about the actress.
Who is Laura Aikman?
With a birthday on Christmas Eve, London-born Laura is 34 and has a long list of screen appearances, starting back in 1996 in the film Surviving Picasso, which starred Anthony Hopkins.
What would we have seen her in?
Her TV roles have seen her in some popular UK TV dramas including Casualty and Waterloo Road.
In the former she was May Phelps for two years and in Waterloo Road she played Lorna Hutchinson in 2015.
She's also appeared in the ITV drama Liar, opposite Ioan Gruffudd and Joanna Froggatt.
Laura is a familiar face on UK comedy shows, appearing in Citizen Khan, Bluestone 42, The Job Lot, That Mitchell and Webb Look and she was Rosie in Keith Lemon: The Film.
She also appeared opposite Adrian Edmondson in Teenage Kicks, BBC Three's Personal Affairs and children show The Mysti Show.

What happens to Sonia in Gavin & Stacey?
She turns up late on Christmas Day, and is distinctly unimpressed with the sleeping arrangements, she annoys the family by criticising Smithy's weight and questioning why Nessa has given everyone taps for Christmas.
By the end she has left early to spend time with her family, leaving Smithy in Barry.
