90S KIDS are only just realising which ‘iconic’ 2000s show they recognise Gavin and Stacey’s Sonia from and their minds are blown. If you were one of the 12.3 million TV viewers who sat down on Christmas Day to watch the Gavin and Stacey finale, you will have seen Sonia at the altar alongside Smithy, played by James Corden, 46.

The blonde beauty, who caused quite a stir in the long-awaited episode, is played by actress Laura Aikman, 39. But Gavin and Stacey isn’t Laura’s first TV appearance - not only did she play Nurse May Phelps in 24 episodes of Casualty, but she also appeared on Waterloo Road back in 2015 too.

As well as this, the star is also known for her roles in Archie, The Job Lot and her recurring character Lucy in the hit BBC Three series Personal Affairs. Fans will also recognise her from Keith Lemon: The Film, a recent TV biopic about the life and times of Hollywood legend Cary Grant - with Laura playing the actor's wife Dyan Cannon.

But now, 90s kids are going wild as they are only just realising a lesser-known TV show in which Laura made her TV debut. Posting on social media, Michaela Shannon, 25, revealed the news to her followers, leaving many open-mouthed. Alongside a snip of Smithy’s insufferable long-term fiancée, Michaela recognised that Laura’s acting credits go far beyond the hugely popular sitcom.
