Gavin and Stacey fans have been given an update on what's to come for the show ahead of its final episode.

That's right, we're nearing the end of the BBC sitcom's run, 17 years on from its debut on the broadcaster.

Starring the likes of James Corden (Smithy), Matthew Horne (Gavin), Ruth Jones (Nessa) and Joanna Page (Stacey) - who all play the TV show's four main characters - the upcoming Christmas special will see them share the screen for the last time, which was confirmed by the show's creators Corden and Page earlier this year.

The stars have waved goodbye to some of the iconic filming spots for the show, with a number of actors spotted leaving The Tadross Hotel in Barry, Wales, also known as The Dolphin pub from the last special.

As well as the main four, Rob Rydon, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters were seen making their way out, though not before taking some pics and sharing a chat with fans who had patiently waited to see them, according to The Mirror.

But it looks like the finale to the show will address the massive cliffhanger that the 2019 Christmas special ended on.

The last special ended with Nessa getting down on one knee to propose to Smithy, with credits rolling before fans got an answer.

It's been five years since then, with fans desperate to hear if he says yes and to see how the show is rounded off.

Well, we won't have to wait long as the BBC shared a snap of a clipperboard with the show's name on Instagram, revealing that filming had finished, writing: "And that's a wrap... for the last time ever. See you on Christmas Day!"

Filming wrapped up at Pam and Mick's home in 'Essex', though it too is located in South Wales.

Corden shared with fans: "Today is our last day in 'Essex'. Everyone in Dinas Powys has been so great to the show and all of you that have come out here today, so thank you very, very much.

"It means more to us than you will ever know and we really, really hope you like the show."

Corden posted on the final episode's first day of filming back at the beginning of September, after initial worries about the episode being filmed and edited in time.

Jones also said to fans: "Thanks so much for being such dedicated fans and for being here every day and watching us even though we were there hid in the house.

"We hope that you will enjoy our little episode on Christmas Day."
