Gavin and Stacey star joins This Morning in new hosting job
A GAVIN and Stacey star is set to return to our screens in a new hosting job with ITV daytime show This Morning.
The actress, who is best known for her stint in the iconic BBC sitcom – is at the front of a new four-part series on the show.
Joanna Page – who played Stacey Shipman in the programme, which ended in 2019 – will return to TV for the presenting gig.
She is set to be sent to four spots across the UK and Europe to various filming locations for the hottest series and films.
Among the big names gracing the list are productions including Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, The Crown and James Bond.
Filming already looks to have kicked off, with Joanna, 46, who also appeared in hit Christmas classic Love Actually, flying to Malta.
Touching down in the sun-soaked destination, Joanna told fans on her Instagram: “Hello Malta, This Morning.”
The island is known for being the filming location of war film Troy.
Speaking to The Mirror about her new role, Joanna said: “I am exploring some of the top filming locations in Europe.”
“Apparently almost half of us would consider visiting a destination after seeing it on a show or movie.”
Elsewhere, a source told the publication that Joanna was a “huge fan” of This Morning and was “thrilled” to be invited to take part.
We last saw Joanna on screen during the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special back in 2019, as the show was revived for a one-off.
Since then, the star has been keeping busy with life as a mother-of-four after welcoming a baby girl in December 2021.
Joanna and husband James have been married since 2003 after meeting while starring alongside each other in 1999 series David Copperfield.
They share Eva, ten, eight-year-old Kit, and six-year-old Noah – as well as their young daughter Boe, one.
