Footage has resurfaced of the moment James Corden was told Mathew Horne refused to do an interview with him after the actor set the record straight about his rumoured feud with his longtime friend.

There’s just 90 sleeps to go until the big day. You can already start getting the special snacks in ready as plenty of us have already got our requests in.

And yes, it just so happens to be Christmas day, but that’s not what the countdowns for. It’s for the final ever episode of Gavin and Stacey, obviously.

Filming recently wrapped up in Wales as James Corden and Ruth Jones reunited to treat fans for one last time with what’s expected to be some iconic British telly.

It’s sure to be a treat though, there’s been so much hype and waiting for us to see those famed characters back on our TVs again.

But while Corden’s legendary character Smithy might be best mates with Mathew Horne’s Gavin, fans had long speculated a feud between the pair in real life after footage showed the moment the ex-US talk show host was told the actor refused an interview with him.

After Gavin and Stacey initially ended, rumours began circulating Corden had fallen out with his co-star after his move to the States.

Things came to a head when Corden appeared on Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019 and was told that Horne was asked to be part of the show but said no.

Morgan asks Corden in the footage : "Do you talk much?"

"Err, we talk occasionally, yeah," Corden replies.

Morgan then says: "We asked him to take part in this programme and he chose not to."

"I didn't know that, but I can understand," a visibly shocked Corden said.

However, while the presenter seemed to frame it as though Horne had taken issue with something Corden had done, the actor later explained that this wasn't the case at all.

Horne said that it was, in fact, a manufactured spat, and that he never rejected the offer because he had fallen out with his former co-star.

Speaking to The Times, he said: "That's where the rumour that we'd fallen out started and it snowballed from there.

"I didn’t go on that show because I was filming out of London, and they could only film my interview on one day, and I couldn’t do it.

"The other reason is that I dislike Piers Morgan and everything he stands for."

Seems fair enough to be honest. He also later added that the pair have always remained close.

Horne explained: "The truth is that there was never any rift and everything is fine. James and I have always been friends and we always will be.

"I talk to him quite a bit given the time zones and it was great to see him and be acting with him again.

"We never fell out, it was never that… We had such an intense love for each other. We were one person for a long time."
