Chatting on BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, he said: I wish I could say it's up to me. The best thing about Gavin & Stacey is that it's Ruth and I and, if I'm being completely honest, her judgement is exceptional. Look, I am going to have a bit more free time next year and that will open some time for us to just be together, I hope."

He added: "It's amazing, it's incredible how people care about those characters in the show. It's so great and I realise the ending of that special does very definitely tease something else."

Ready for another episode?

Many of the cast members have previously revealed that they would love to return for more episodes, with Joanna Page previously telling Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning: "I don’t know. I mean we never hear anything because Ruth and James don’t tell us anything until we get a phone call and they say it’s happening again, but I’ve absolutely no idea.

"When we finished we thought: 'Right, okay, that is the end.' But they’re very clever, I mean they’ve left it open. I could see it going either way.’"
