Actor James Corden has thanked fans for tuning into the finale of his hit sitcom Gavin And Stacey after it secured the highest Christmas Day ratings since 2008 by sharing some behind-the-scenes snaps. The co-creator of the BBC comedy, with Ruth Jones, wrote an emotional farewell to the show, which drew an average audience of 12.3 million on Christmas Day, according to overnight figures. On Thursday night, James took to Instagram to share some special pictures with his 6.2million followers.
"Here’s some behind the scenes photos from the special," the Smithy actor wrote as he captioned the previously unseen snaps. "Thank you so much to everyone who watched last night. It means more than you’ll know. All my love, James xx.”. Underneath the post, music producer Darren Styles wrote: "The perfect ending! BRB (Be right back) while I rewatch every episode for the millionth time." Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh wrote: "Aw loved it so much." Arlene Phillips added: "Cannot even express the emotional roller coaster of the brilliant final episode.
"I laughed , I cried , a lot , and could only marvel at the brilliant script and the epic cast. Ruth Jones and her silent stares was one of the most powerful performances on TV . And suddenly , that’s it. It’s over." One fan told James: "Great ending. I will miss these characters so much. Thanks for creating this show and giving us a beautiful my wrapped bow to end it all.".
James also shared photos of him as Neil 'Smithy' Smith, and his co-creator Ruth Jones as Vanessa 'Nessa' Jenkins along with the cast filming Gavin And Stacey: The Finale in Wales. This included Sonia (Laura Aikman) – Smithy’s girlfriend from the 2019 Christmas Day episode, which ended with a cliff-hanger when Nessa proposed to him – returning as a bride to be.
