Gavin and Stacey trailer: Fans treated to Nessa cameo by Ruth Jones during Strictly final

Watch the trailer for ‘Gavin & Stacey: The Finale’

The first clips from the final episode of Gavin and Stacey were shown during the Strictly Come Dancing finale on Saturday night.

The trailer appeared to centre around the key characters coming together for a weekend.

It was a double treat for fans, as before the trailer was aired, Ruth Jones also made a cameo appearance as Nessa.

Fans wondering “what’s occurring?” won’t have to wait much longer, with the episode due to air on BBC One on Christmas Day.

But one of the show’s biggest mysteries – what happened during Uncle Bryn and Jason’s fishing trip – may finally be revealed in the show’s Christmas special.

We heard one character, thought to be Gwen (Stacey’s mother) saying: “Thirty years ago you two went on a fishing trip that almost tore this family apart,” suggesting fans may find out why.

All the recurring characters were seen in the clips, including Gavin and Stacey (played by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page), who got married in the first season of the show in 2007.

The trailer ends with the characters dancing and knocking back a round of shots.

Fans took to social media after the trailer dropped, with one X user writing: “This looks so so good.”

“Strictly, you’re killing me here!,” wrote another.

“I can’t wait to watch it but I’m not ready for it to be completely over,” a third commented.

During her cameo as Nessa, Jones explained the terms and conditions of voting for Strictly’s winners, and told host Claudia Winkleman: “I see you’re copying my hairstyle still, tidy.”

She added: “Please don’t try and vote if you’re watching on demand, you’ll just make a fool of yourself.”

The hit TV series, co-created by Corden and Jones, aired between 2007 and 2010, and returned in 2019 with a one-off festive special
