James Corden reveals future of Gavin And Stacey after Christmas meeting with Ruth Jones
JAMES Corden has opened up about the future of Gavin and Stacey and revealed he met with Ruth Jones at Christmas.
Alongside Ruth, James, 44, co-wrote the smash BBC series Gavin and Stacey.
The 2019 Christmas special drew in a record 18 million viewers and, to this day, people stop him in the street to ask after Smithy.
Now, with James returning to the UK after eight years hosting The Late Late Show, will there be a fourth series of the award-winning comedy drama?
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, James said: “In truth Ruth and I met up at Christmas… and I know it will be a disappointment, but we didn’t talk about it in life-growing forms.
“We talked about who we had spoken to from the cast recently, but that was about it.
“It is wonderful people loved the characters that much and whenever I’m back home, and chat with the cabbies they say, ‘You’ve done well for yourself’. It’s lovely
“But now people only want a good show. I don’t think about [Smithy and Nessa’s future] until Ruth and I are in a room.
“We cannot write remotely; we tried it when I was in New York with The History Boys and we tried it over Skype, and we couldn’t do it.
“It is whether we decide to get into a room together and honestly I could not tell you what the chances are of that. We both have to be ready and right.”
The final Late Late Show with James Corden airs in the UK Friday at 10:15pm
