The beloved Gavin and Stacey family has certainly grown, both on and off screen. Fans have eagerly awaited the show's Christmas special, and now they have even more reason to be excited. Star Mathew Horne, known for his role as Gavin Shipman in the BBC comedy, has become a dad in real life, just in time to reprise his character for the final episode.
While Gavin and Stacey have their own children on screen, Mathew's family has also expanded in real life. Over the weekend, he and his wife Celina Bassili were spotted with their little one for the first time. It seems that Mathew prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight, as he kept the news of his arrival quiet and only shared it with a select few relatives.
Mathew, now 45, first rose to fame in The Catherine Tate Show, where he played various roles including the foul-mouthed Nan's grandson Jamie. He then joined forces with James Corden, who also stars in Gavin and Stacey, and the two quickly became inseparable. However, after their joint projects were met with criticism, their friendship began to strain and they stopped speaking for months.
Fans of the show are anxiously awaiting the Christmas special, which was confirmed earlier this year when writers James Corden and Ruth Jones shared a photo of the script on social media. Even celebrities like Gordon Ramsay and Rylan Clark have expressed their excitement. The plot of the episode is being kept under wraps for now, but it's sure to be a treat for fans who have been waiting since the last episode aired in 2019.
But that's not all fans have to look forward to. It has been rumored that there will also be a documentary looking back on the show, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at their favorite characters and moments. So not only will we get to see what's been happening in the lives of Gavin and Stacey, but we'll also get a glimpse into the making of the show.
The Christmas special is set to air on BBC on Christmas Day, and fans couldn't be more excited. It's sure to be a holiday treat for all, and we can't wait to see what happens with Gavin, Stacey, and the rest of the gang. And who knows, maybe we'll finally get some answers to those burning questions, like what really happened on the fishing trip and did Smithy say yes to Nessa's proposal? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - it's going to be a Merry Christmas indeed.
