Nessa From Gavin And Stacey Gives The Nation Some Coronavirus Advice

Jones used Nessa's typically no-nonsense style and told everyone to 'stay out of my way' as she runs her 'half marathon around Barry'.

It's not a lot to ask, is it?

Nessa said: "Oh, what's occurring? Not a lot, other than a global pandemic but the question was rhetorical.

"Now listen, I am not here to give advice, there's plenty of others that would do that for you. It's your life and I am not about to tell you how to live it. I wouldn't do that to no one. I wouldn't even tell myself to live my life.

"If you see me in the morning doing my daily run, my half marathon around Barry, don't even think about breaking that two-metre rule because if you does, I will not hesitate to tell you quite clearly to back off.

"Because at the end of the day, when all is said and done, no word of a lie if truth be told, just because you don't feel ill don't mean you're not infectious, you could be riddled."

She concluded: "Stay safe, stay out of my way and protect the NHS, obviously it goes without saying."

Nessa's speech to the nation, which is now perhaps something that should be considered for all times of need, comes off the back of the huge success of the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.

The one-off TV event was watched by 18.5m viewers when it aired on Christmas Day last year.

That runaway success has sparked talk of a reunion, which could see James Corden, Matthew Horne, Ruth Jones, and Rob Brydon brought back together in some capacity.

If the Christmas special is anything to go by, you'd have to say the demand is there.

Oscar Hartland, who plays Baby Neil, said that he'd asked Corden if there'd be more, and the show's co-creator refused to rule it out.

He told Good Morning Britain: "I did ask James in the process of filming. He said it's just what the people want.

"Me, I would love it to happen. It really depends what other people think about it and whether they like it or not."
