This morning, James Corden dropped the news that Gavin & Stacey will return to our screens for a Chirstmas special this year - and people were absolutely made up.

But nobody was more excited than the members of the cast themselves, who took to social media to join in the hype.

Rob Brydon, who plays Bryn - Stacey and Jason's uncle in the series - seemed ever so slightly keen to break the news on Twitter:

While Larry Lamb, aka Mick, or Gavin's dad, was just relieved that he could finally let slip - after what must have felt like an eternity.

Joanna Page, who plays main character Stacey, was that excited that she tweeted the news twice.

So yes, it's official - Gavin & Stacey will return for a Christmas special at the end of 2019.

The news was announced by James Corden himself on Twitter, with the chat show host and actor posting a picture of the script, written by himself and co-creator Ruth Jones.

The BBC put out a press release in which Corden and Jones are quoted as having said: "Over the last ten years we've talked a lot about Gavin and Stacey - where they might be today and what their lives might look like.

"And so in secret we took the plunge and wrote this one hour special. We've loved revisiting Barry and Essex again and bringing the characters back together has been a joy.

"We're so excited to get the chance to work with our fabulous cast and crew once more and to give fans of the show a festive treat this Christmas. Thank you BBC for helping to make this happen."
