After the highly anticipated finale of Gavin and Stacey, fans were left wondering what the stars of the show, including Mathew Horne, would do next. Well, we now have the answer! Just a few days after the finale, it has been announced that Mathew's next project has been revealed.
Mathew's journey in the entertainment world began as a part of the comedy duo Mat and MacKinnon. He then made his first television appearance on The Catherine Tate Show. From there, he went on to star in several shows such as 20 Things to do Before You're 30, Teachers, and Doc Martin. However, it was his role as Gavin Shipman in Gavin and Stacey that truly put him in the spotlight. The show first aired in 2007 and ran for three seasons before returning for a Christmas special in 2019. And just last week, the final episode was released, leaving fans emotional and wanting more.
Since his time on Gavin and Stacey, Mathew has also worked with the show's co-creator, James Corden, on the sketch show Horne & Corden and the comedy horror film Lesbian Vampire Killers. But now, his next career move is quite unexpected - he will be performing a DJ set in London to welcome the New Year.
The 46-year-old will be headlining a party at Electric Ballroom in Camden on December 31st. The event description reads, "What's occurring London? For one night only, Propaganda is back at Electric Ballroom to throw one huge NYE party! With none other than Gavin and Stacey's Mathew Horne joining as a special guest DJ!" And that's not all, as the description continues, "The Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special may be the only thing on our wish list this year, but we promise this will be THE night to remember! Mathew Horne and DJ Dan will be bringing the bangers and vibes to ring in the new year and make you feel like you're in the best party in Barry Island! Crackin'."
This exciting performance comes just a few weeks after Mathew suffered a head injury during a performance on the West End. He is currently playing the comical character Prospero in The Tempest at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. However, during one of the scenes where he was rolling on the floor, he accidentally hit his head on a rock. The show was stopped for 15 minutes, and Mathew was taken off stage. But being the professional that he is, he returned with a visible mark on his face the next day and even appeared at an early screening for the Gavin and Stacey special.
Speaking of the special, it was a massive hit when it aired on Christmas Day, drawing in a staggering audience of 12.3 million viewers. This makes it the most-watched Christmas TV episode across all channels in over a decade. And if you missed it, don't worry, as Gavin and Stacey is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
