John Prescott, the former deputy prime minister under Sir Tony Blair's administration, passed away earlier today at the age of 86 after battling Alzheimer's disease. He was well known for his influential role in UK politics, but he also made a memorable appearance on the hit British sitcom, Gavin and Stacey.
John's cameo on the show came about after he became a recurring joke in Nessa's love life. Actress Ruth Jones, who played Nessa, reached out to John and asked if he would be willing to play a small part in the show. John happily accepted and ended up appearing in the final season in 2010.
Fans of the show remember his cameo fondly, as it was a hilarious addition to the already beloved series. In the scene, John congratulates Dave Coaches on his wedding to Nessa, to which Dave responds with a casual "nice to see you." This interaction delighted John, who later wrote about his experience on his blog.
John was a good sport and enjoyed being a part of the wacky Gavin and Stacey storyline. Fans also appreciated his appearance, with many taking to social media to express their love for the surprise cameo. His performance as himself remains his only acting credit on IMDb, but he has made numerous appearances on other shows as himself.
Aside from his political career, John was also remembered by many in the UK arts scene, including former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair. In his tribute, Sir Blair described John as one of the most talented, committed, and loyal people he had ever encountered in politics.
As for Gavin and Stacey, the show will be returning for a final Christmas special, much to the excitement of fans. The upcoming episode is expected to be an emotional farewell and will feature the return of several beloved characters, including Stacey, Gavin, and Nessa.
John's cameo on Gavin and Stacey will always be remembered as a funny and memorable moment in the show's history. His passing is a loss for the UK political scene and the arts world, and he will be greatly missed.
