Gavin & Stacey star Melanie Walters has responded to the 2024 Christmas special 's biggest reveal. The finale of the beloved BBC sitcom revealed that Smithy stayed with Sonia after the 2019 special, but more shocking than that (for viewers and the characters) was finding out that Gwen had a new boyfriend: Dave Coaches!

Gavin and Stacey came to its emotional end with a feature-length finale on Christmas night. Seventeen years after the much-loved BBC comedy arrived on our screens, its climax was the most eagerly anticipated 90 minutes of the festive schedules.

Gavin and Stacey returned to screens last night after an excruciating five year wait, but some of the most beloved faces from the cast were notably missing. The British sitcom, co-written James Corden and Ruth Jones, first premiered in 2007 (sorry to make you feel old).
