Ruth Jones has opened up about the highly-anticipated Gavin & Stacey Christmas special. The finale will air on the BBC on Christmas Day, five years after James Corden's character Smithy got down on one knee and proposed to Ruth's character Nessa Jenkins. Speaking about the upcoming episode on Rob Brydon's podcast Brydon & , Ruth told her long-time friend and co-star that she finds it "interesting" that fans of the show often ask for spoilers.
The actress, who is currently starring in Sister Act on stage, told Rob how instead of revealing the sitcom's secrets she often makes up tragic endings instead. She said: "At the end of Sister Act, I go out of the stage door and there are often people there wanting programmes signed, which is lovely. But to a man, they'll say 'I'm the biggest Gavin and Stacey fan' or 'thank you so much for this Christmas special' or 'You must be so excited, oh god, I can't wait until Christmas'.
And it's awful because you don't want to diminish that.
