Gavin & Stacey stars Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are teaming up for a one-off Christmas show.
The actors, who play the titular characters in James Corden and Ruth Jones’ beloved comedy series, will be hosting a radio show on BBC Radio Wales, broadcasting on Christmas Day.
Page has had her own show on BBC Radio Wales since earlier this year, hosting Sunday Morning with Joanna Page for a limited run. Regarding the new show, she said in a statement shared by WalesOnline: âI absolutely love Christmas and Iâve been having a fantastic time doing my show on BBC Radio Wales, so when it came up that we could do a Christmas Day show I knew that if there was anybody Iâd want to share that with, itâs Mat. I love working with him, heâs so much fun.
She added: âIâm really looking forward to chatting to some brilliant friends and guests on the show. Weâve got some really good quizzes, classic Christmas music and a bit of fun!â
âI jumped at the chance to do this show with Jo,” Horne said. “I love working with Jo, I love Wales and I love doing radio. Christmas Day is a special day and, particularly this year, itâs been very challenging for a lot of people, so itâs nice to feel like we might be bringing a little bit of joy.”
Last week, Page said the next Gavin & Stacey Christmas special would be the show’s last. “As a fan, surely theyâve got to do another one,” she said.
She added: âI donât think weâd ever do another series because I donât think we could get everyone together for long enough, but I canât imagine they could leave it the way they did. One more special, then done.â
