The Christmas episode comes five years after the 2019 festive special which ended on a dramatic cliffhanger involving Smithy (Corden) and Nessa’s (Jones) complicated on and off relationship.
The hilarious and heartwarming episode saw Smithy awkwardly attempt to introduce the Shipmans, Wests, Nessa and his son Neil to his new girlfriend, Sonia.
However, things took a turn in the final moments as Nessa got down on one knee in front of Smithy and asked, "Will you marry me?".
Will the new special finally give fans the answer we’ve all been waiting for?
Gavin & Stacey series 1-3 are available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The Gavin and Stacey 2024 Christmas Special will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in December.
