Gavin And Stacey star Laura Aikman previously hinted at her bombshell return to the BBC series as Sonia, in an interview three months ago. During the Christmas day finale, fans were on the edge of their seats when Smithy's (James Corden) fiancée was revealed as Laura's character Sonia, rather than Ruth Jones' Nessa.

Her appearance came as a shock to the nation, as Laura had been 'hidden away' in a separate hotel during filming, and she had signed an NDA preventing her from revealing she was returning. However, a resurfaced interview with Country and Townhouse has revealed the actress actually dropped a very big hint.

Although the chat was about her starring in ITV's Joan, the interviewer began by quizzing Laura on how life was going at the time. She responded: 'Life is pretty wonderful right now. I'm coming to the end of a job I have absolutely loved with a dream cast and crew, and I'm really trying to take it all in and appreciate every minute.'.
