Ruth Jones, the co-creator and star of Gavin and Stacey as the iconic Nessa, has given a worrying hint as to the fact of the characters in the upcoming Christmas finale.

The final ever episode, titled Gavin and Stacey: The Finale, is set to release in a 90 minute long special on Christmas Day this year.

Jones and co-star James Corden are writing the final episode, with the entire main cast set to return.

The focus for many will be on all the unsolved mysteries left from the series.

Will Nessa and Smithy get married?

Are Gavin and Stacey going to ride out the finale and end up happily ever after, after 17 years of marriage?

Do we ever find out what happened on that bleeding fishing trip?

Though Jones hasn’t given a hint to any of the above, she has given a worrying hint at what might happen instead.

She said in an interview that the episode would pick up bang on from where the last episode left off, with Nessa proposing to Smithy.

When asked whether she was ready to say ‘Goodbye’ to the characters, however, she said on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show: "It's strange, James and I have always felt, they really do exist. It's not like they're dying, well... Watch the finale."

This elicited a shocked reaction from Ball and her studio who audibly gasped, with her saying: “Oh gosh, the whole console have got their hands on their mouth. What?”

She went on to say: “We feel like they still exist, for us, they're carrying on living their lives in Barry, or in Billericay it's just that we are not party to what goes on in their life anymore."

Joanna Page who plays Stacey said of the finale: “Being on set for the last time with everybody for the last day was traumatic.

“I burst out crying again and again. I just alternated between hysterically crying and hysterically laughing.

“It just felt like it was such a huge journey that was ending.”

James Corden meanwhile said: “Gavin & Stacey is just a huge part of my life, it changed my life in every way.

“The thing it means to me most is my friendship with Ruth. To have an idea with a friend in a hotel in Leeds 20 years ago and then be sat here today with what it's become.

“If you think about it too much you could really just start crying all the time. I love her so much and I'm so proud of what we've done."

Gavin and Stacey: The Finale will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
